Chiefs’ Chris Jones Still Fired Up by Joe Burrow, Bengals Rivalry

The defensive tackle sacked the Bengals quarterback twice during the AFC championship.

Even though the AFC championship is no longer the Chiefs’ focus, Kansas City defensive tackle undefined appears to still be a bit heated over the team’s rivalry with the Bengals.

After the two teams met in consecutive AFC championships, Kansas City finally got a victory over Joe Burrow & Co. in a 23–20 conference title win, adding another chapter to the intensifying rivalry. And despite the fact that the Super Bowl and Eagles are on the horizon, Jones couldn’t help adding a bit more fuel to the fire.

When asked who his favorite quarterback to tackle is during Monday’s Super Bowl LVII opening night, Jones didn’t have to think twice about his answer: “Joe Burrow.”

Jones sacked Burrow twice during the AFC championship, and apparently, he is still on cloud nine over it. He also had five quarterback hits and four tackles in the game.
