Clay Harbor Reveals “Big Reason” Why Chiefs Will Take Home the Super Bowl Victory
The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are set to battle it out on Sunday for the Super Bowl. While many people are arguing about which team will come away victorious based on quarterback play, the win may not be so cut and dry as that.
Former NFL tight end Clay Harbor joined Solomon Wilcots and the Bleav in Bengals Podcast to reveal his "big reason" why the Chiefs will be the superior team this Sunday.
"I think this one can honestly go either way. I'm leaning Chiefs, though, and I'm not just saying that because Andy Reid was the coach who drafted me. Love Coach Reid. You know, nothing but good things to say about of my time in Philly. But I'm taking the Chiefs. And one of the big reasons why is Chris Jones. Chris Jones had 85 pressures this year. He was fourth in the NFL and every other every other guy in front of him. The top three edge rushers, he's doing this from the middle of the defense with pressure in your face. If you're a quarterback, it's tough. It's tough to stop, tough to tough to throw the ball. So to me, Chris Jones plays a big role in that."

Chris Jones is a massively important player in the Chiefs' defense. Despite not being an edge rusher and linebacker, Jones racked up 10.5 sacks in the regular season.
Jones has the ability to get in your face and cause many issues. Brock Purdy also does not do well under pressure, so if Jones can get to him often, it will be a long day for the 49ers passing attack.
