Chris Jones's Career Progression
Since 2018, Chris Jones has continued to thrive in the NFL. In both 2019 and 2020, he earned Pro Bowl selections, becoming an integral part of the Chiefs' defensive line. By 2025, Jones has accumulated over 65 career sacks, showcasing his consistency and effectiveness on the field.
His role in the Chiefs' defense remains instrumental, fostering Kansas City's achievements and successful playoff appearances.
Can He Make It 10 Against The Chargers?
The Chiefs face a crucial test in their upcoming clash with the division rival Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football as 3.5-point home favorites.
Los Angeles trails the Chiefs by just one game in the hunt for top spot in the AFC West after posting SU wins in nine of their past 10 outings. But they must find a way to end a nine-game SU losing streak against Kansas City if they are to avoid handing the division crown to the Chiefs on Thursday night.

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has been key to the team’s climb up the standings. The 37-year-old has been a steady presence under center, throwing multiple scoring passes in 13 of 14 outings this season, and avoiding being intercepted in his past three contests.
Kansas City’s pass defense managed to sack Rivers just once during a stunning 38-28 upset win over the Chargers as 3-point road underdogs in the team’s season opener. However, Rivers has had a tougher time in recent weeks.

The 15-year NFL veteran was unable to avoid a typically feeble Cincinnati pass defense in last weekend’s 26-21 win over the Bengals as 16.5-point chalk.
Rivers was sacked twice in that contest, marking the sixth time in seven outings that he has been sacked multiple times.
The Arizona Cardinals got to him on a season-high four occasions in an otherwise impressive 45-10 Chargers win three weeks ago, in which Rivers set a record with 25 consecutive pass completions.
Chiefs Rack Up the Sacks in Prime Time
The Chiefs’ solid record of getting to opposing quarterbacks when playing in prime time should also work to Jones’ advantage, as he looks to extend his newly established NFL record.
The Kansas City defense has tallied 18 total sacks over their past six games under the lights, including five sacks of Los Angeles Rams passer Jared Goff in a thrilling 54-51 loss on Monday Night Football in Week 11.
The Chiefs also sacked Rivers twice the last time these two times played in prime time, a 30-13 Kansas City win as 1-point home chalk in Week 15 of last season.
Kansas City Chiefs Defensive Stats
From 2019 to 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs' defense has logged an impressive number of sacks, placing them among the top teams in this category. They've averaged 45 sacks per season during this period.
This efficiency in pressuring the quarterback plays an instrumental role in maintaining their competitive edge in the AFC.
