The Kansas City Chiefs punched their ticket into the 2024 NFL playoffs with a 19-17 victory against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday.
Although the Chiefs currently sport the best record in the AFC at 11-1, they've gotten away with many close victories against struggling teams. Their two-point win against the 2-10 Raiders was their ninth one-score victory this season.
When asked if he's still confident in the team even with how they're winning games as the playoffs approach, Chris Jones gave his honest thoughts.
"Absolutely," Jones said. "You look at the playoffs, most games are close, down-to-the-wire type of games. So it's a lot we can build from this as a team overall, and we're just gonna keep on winning, man. Keep on winning. You can learn a lot from winning. It's better to win than have a pretty loss. We'll take an ugly win, build from it, and continue to get better."
Jones continued, discussing what the team does still need to fix before the regular-season concludes.
"I think it's more so the errors," Jones said. "The things you can correct, you know what I mean? Self-inflicted wounds. I had two offsides today. One gave them a first down and another one moved them closer, I've got to be better on that. And then just penalties. Pass interference penalties, hands to the face penalties, little things like that can add up throughout the season, especially in the playoffs."
Jones was dominant in the trenches on Friday, finishing with two sacks on Aidan O'Conne.
