Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones only had a half-sack in the team’s first seven games this season, but things went a lot better for him on that front in Week 9. Jones sacked Jets quarterback Geno Smith twice during Kansas City’s 35-12 win. Jones had four overall tackles in the game and he also batted down one pass. The NFL announced on Wednesday that Jones has been named the AFC defensive player of the week in recognition of that effort. It’s the fourth time that Jones has won the award and the first time since the 2024 season. Jones will try to keep the sacks coming in Atlanta this Sunday.
