Chris Jones has baffling excuse for giving up on Jaguars' game-winning drive

There's no doubt that Chris Jones is one of the best defenders in the NFL. What's questionable was his effort on the play that ultimately gave the Jacksonville Jaguars the win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

On the Kansas City one-yard line, Trevor Lawrence slipped, got up, and reached the end zone to put the Jags on top 31-28. During the play, you can see Jones get knocked out by guard Ezra Cleveland. But instead of getting back on his feet and pursuing No. 16, he gave up.

Rightly, his effort or lack thereof came under scrutiny, and things got so bad that Jones had to delete his Twitter account.
