KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors in helping the team preserve a 17-10 win Sunday over the Los Angeles Chargers.
It’s the third time Jones has won the award and the first time this season that a Chief was recognized with such an honor.
Jones also won the award in Week 11 in 2021 and Week 2 in 2017. The three honors are the most ever for a Chiefs defensive lineman.
Jones picked up four tackles and two sacks in Sunday’s win over the AFC West division Chargers. Both of Jones’ sacks came on third down, one of which came late in the fourth quarter.
