The Kansas City Chiefs had a letdown at home against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14, and frustrations came to a head at multiple points during the game.
When the team fell behind 17-7 in the third quarter, CBS cameras captured the first sideline outburst of the game. Chiefs DT Chris Jones was seen yelling at a defensive assistant. Defensive line coach Joe Cullen then smashes a tablet in front of Mike Danna, George Karlaftis, and Charles Omenihu.
The whole ordeal was captured on camera and it wasn't a particularly great look, aside from Karlaftis trying to hold back laughter after Cullen smashed the tablet. That was objectively hilarious.
Speaking to media members after the game, Jones had a terse response when asked about what happened at that moment.
"Yeah, we have challenging conversations on the sideline," Jones said. "A few adjustments, but that's just what we do."
Challenging conversations, aggressive negotiations, sideline outbursts — call them what you may. It's safe to assume this particular challenging conversation stemmed from the neutral zone infraction by Jones that gave the Bills an extra five yards on their field goal attempt. No matter what it was about, Jones will continue questioning what he could have done to ensure that his team came out with a win instead of a loss.
"It's tough," Jones said. "Especially, when you lose, you'll always be frustrated with yourself. 'What could I have done better? What could I have done differently?' Just the competitive nature of it as a player, you always think of what you could have done differently, what you could have done better."
"And then, the offsides, man. . ."
Unfortunately, Jones abruptly ended his media availability due to a piece of ceiling tile falling on the group of reporters in the media room.
We'll probably never know what he was about to say about the penalty, but if he was echoing the rest of the team, he probably took some issue with the officiating in the game.
The Chiefs need to do what has been obvious for weeks now
Everyone knows that the Kansas City Chiefs need serious changes in the wide receiver room and stat.
