KANSAS CITY, Mo. — To scroll or not to scroll, seemingly the question of the day as the Chiefs prepare to defend their throne 11 days from Super Bowl LV.
“I get a lot of motivation from Twitter,” Chiefs Defensive lineman Chris Jones told reporters Thursday. “I read everything [and] l take it very, very personal. No matter if it's good or bad. I just take it to heart and I wear my emotions on my sleeves when it comes to that type of stuff.”
Media obligations ramp up around the big game, meaning more good and bad things to read for the defending champs.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes says he usually drops in social media once a day to stay "updated."
“You just kind of go through it, you see it every now and then. But you're mostly focused on the game at hand,” Mahomes said, adding some narratives about his team are more prickly than others.
“It's like, we weren't winning by enough. I guess that's a stat,” Mahomes said.
Leading up to the AFC Championship game, eight Kansas City wins were by a single-digit margin.
“We wanted to make sure everybody knew that we could still play good football when we wanted to,” Mahomes said.
