Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones is coming off his season’s best game — one where he had two sacks. It was a good performance to earn him AFC defensive player of the week honors.
When defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo was asked about his star pass rusher's multiple sack performance, he replied that Jones’ dominant abilities extend beyond himself and help everyone else on the defense.
“I don’t know what the totals are,” answered Spagnuolo. “I just know he does affect the game for us. I think he affects every player around him, whether it’s a linebacker [who] fits in behind him, whether it’s somebody pass rushing along with him, whether it’s the protections that we’re seeing because of Chris.
