This season, defensive lineman Chris Jones has reshaped his body, revamped his diet, set sack records and put himself at the forefront of the minds of opposing offensive line coaches and coordinators. But he hasn’t forgotten his personal pain and bitter disappointment of the last postseason.
Not only did the Chiefs fall after building a 21-3 lead against the Tennessee Titans in last year’s playoff game at Arrowhead Stadium, but Jones has carried the added agitation of torn knee ligaments suffered before halftime.
“It’s huge for me to overcome what happened last year against the Tennessee Titans,” Jones said.
