Andy Reid Calls for Consistency From Chris Jones as Production Slips

His two sacks in nine games have increased pressure on Kansas City following a quiet trade deadline.

Overview

  • Reid downplayed singling out Jones, saying the entire front must improve while urging the veteran to stay consistent and keep working.
  • Jones has two sacks and reduced pressure totals through nine games, including just two pressures and no quick pressures over the past three outings.
  • Next Gen Stats show his 36.3% double-team rate is typical for a defensive tackle and trails several top peers, underscoring a recent dip in impact.
  • Kansas City sits 5-4 and returns from its bye to face the division-leading Broncos with the pass rush needing a lift.
  • The Chiefs did not add a major defensive lineman at the deadline, and after Jones posted a cryptic message, Tavia Hunt publicly voiced support on Instagram.
