Kansas City Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones drew comparisons to Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss for his impact during the Chiefs’ 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
“The whole first half is long drives against K.C., and then in the final 10 minutes, Kansas City gets the stops,” a coach from a rival team told Mike Sando of The Athletic. “It is classic with Chris Jones, too. He is a modern-day Randy Moss. He’ll play when he wants to play, and when he wants to play, look out.”
The Bills’ offense was able to put together several impressive drives to open the game, taking a 22-21 lead with just under three minutes remaining in the third quarter.

Jones didn’t register a sack against the Bills, but he still recorded a tackle and two quarterback hits.
When the 30-year-old is healthy and engaged, it isn’t an exaggeration to call him one of the NFL’s top defensive players. He’s earned Pro Bowl nods six consecutive seasons and received AP All-Pro First Team honors for the third straight year in 2024.
While Jones’ five regular-season sacks were his lowest amount since the 2016 season, his ability to consistently dominate at the line of scrimmage has been crucial for a Chiefs squad that owned the NFL’s fourth-best scoring defense and No. 8 run defense during the regular season.

Jones also racked up 38 pressures, 20 quarterback hits, nine tackles for loss and one forced fumble in 15 starts during his 2024 campaign.
