NFL fans have been critical of Kansas City Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones for his lack of effort during the Jacksonville Jaguars’ game-winning touchdown, which secured a 31-18 victory for the Jaguars. While the Jaguars’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence made a tremendous effort to score the game-winning touchdown, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones showed little effort during the play. The Jaguars were down 28-24 with 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter, but the offense was on the one-yard line. Lawrence went to pass but was stepped on by his offensive lineman and fell. He scrambled to his feet, shed a tackle, and then dove into the end zone for a touchdown.
On the other hand, Jones tried to rush the passer, but when he saw Lawrence go down, he shuffled towards him but then inexplicably stopped pursuing him. Jones took a couple of steps toward the dashing Lawrence and then stood by and watched him score. Fans called Jones out for his effort online. The Chiefs fell to 2-3 with the loss, and Patrick Mahomes lamented the team’s struggles this season. The Chiefs need Jones to be at his best to turn their season around, with their next game against the Detroit Lions.
