It was a moment that NFL fans caught immediately with Chris Jones — they saw the legendary Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle on the sidelines crying as the team clinched yet another Super Bowl berth.
Chris Jones unpacked the strong emotions he felt after the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC Championship win against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, January 26.
Josh Allen could take plenty of satisfaction from a season in which he became the betting favorite for MVP and the Buffalo Bills defied the doubters who predicted a down year.
The Bills are the first team in NFL history to lose to the same opponent in the playoffs four times in a five-year span.
A factor is certainly Kansas City defensive tackle Chris Jones. The man is a beast. And the Bills had run their 'tush push' the left - Jones' side - all season and did not adjust against the Chiefs.

The star defensive player is always shown on camera crying during the national anthem. After big wins, he gets overcome with emotion and often is shown crying again. Sunday night's 32-29 AFC championship victory over the Bills was no exception, as Jones once again wore his heart on his sleeve in the game's final moments.
While the Chiefs defense racked up eight sacks against the Texans, stopping Bills quarterback Josh Allen, a finalist to win this year's MVP Award is a different beast. Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones, knows it won't be easy to stop the dual-threat quarterback and the Bills No. 1 running back, James Cook.
