Chiefs Star Chris Jones Hit With Fine After Loss To Bills
Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones has been hit with a big fine on Saturday following their first loss of the 2024 NFL season.
In Week 11, the Chiefs traveled north for a battle against the AFC's second-placed team, the Buffalo Bills. However, they left New York with a 30-21 loss, ending their nine-game winning streak to start the season.
At one point in the game, Jones was attempting to bring down Buffalo running back Ty Johnson near the 50-yard line. However, the former Mississippi State Bulldogs star grabbed ahold of Johnson's facemask, turning his head hard to the left.
The officials wound up missing the call, and the facemask went unpunished at first. But on Saturday, the NFL fined Jones $11,255 for the play.
Jones wasn't the only player from the Chiefs vs. Bills game that was hit with a punishment. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes was fined $14,069 for a violent gesture, and Buffalo defensive end A.J. Epenesa was fined $15,400 for a hip-drop tackle.
In the loss, Jones finished with five tackles and a tackle for loss. However, along with the rest of his team, he failed to bring down Bills quarterback Josh Allen for a sack.
So far this season, Jones isn't necessarily having the same impact he has had in previous years. The five-time All-Pro has tallied 24 tackles, three sacks and one forced fumble. He is on pace to have his worst statistical season since his rookie year back in 2016.
Still, Kansas City sits in first place in the AFC going into Week 12, where they will face the Carolina Panthers.
