Chiefs fans lit into Chris Jones for a boneheaded late his vs. the Dolphins

The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins 21-14 in an NFL Germany battle on Sunday, escaping Frankfurt victorious after Tua Tagovailoa bobbled the snap on fourth down during his team’s final possession. The win moves the defending Super Bowl Champions to 7-2, still standing atop the conference standings no matter what happens across the NFL in Week 9.

Kansas City led 21-0 at halftime behind two long touchdown drives and a dominant defensive effort that included a wild fumble recovery and lateral touchdown late in the second quarter. Though Patrick Mahomes and the offense sputtered after intermission, the Chiefs’ defense was solid enough in the second half that they could’ve salted away a commanding lead en route to a comfortable victory.

Instead, star defensive lineman Chris Jones spurred Miami’s comeback with a bone-headed late hit that kept Kansas City’s defense on the field instead of forcing the Dolphins to settle for a field goal. Raheem Mostert scored on the next play, cutting the Chiefs’ lead to seven late in the third quarter.

Wow, Chris Jones made a huge mistake on this 3rd down that led to a #Dolphins Mostert TD on the next play. #MIAvsKC

Their team’s place atop AFC suddenly in doubt, Kanas City fans and analysts laid into Jones on Twitter.
