The Chiefs defense has had some problems this season, but it’s done well in the individual awards business.
End Chris Jones was chosen AFC Defensive Player of the Month for November. He followed outside linebacker Dee Ford, who won the honor for October.
Jones is the first Chiefs defensive lineman to win the monthly award since Jared Allen in 2007. He had won an AFC weekly award in 2017.
Jones finished November with 12 tackles, including six tackles for loss, five sacks, three deflected passes and one forced fumble. He’s recorded at least one sack in seven straight games.
