Chiefs: Chris Jones sends a clear message to Bengals and future opponents

Coming into this AFC Championship, there was a lot more riding than there were the last three times these two teams met. Not only was this for a chance to go to the Super Bowl, but the Bengals had to prove themselves after talking trash and the Chiefs couldn't lose to the Bengals for a fourth-straight time.
There was a lot of disrespect going around. The Chiefs handled it before the game in the best way possible, as professionals. They just kept quiet, kept their heads down, and then did their talking on the field.
And then after doing their talking on the field, they did it after the game. There was so much that had built up that some players just couldn't help it. I mean, you even had Patrick Mahomes talking trash after the game, and this is one of the most humble guys in the league.
Chris Jones, though, didn't hold back. He didn't take the disrespect lightly, and he let the Bengals and anyone else who even thinks about being disrespectful know, they better think twice.
“Don’t you ever, ever, ever, and I’m going to look right into the camera when I say this, disrespect Arrowhead,” Jones said to James Palmer of NFL Network.
The Bengals disrespected the Chiefs and their stadium, calling it "Burrowhead" instead of the actual name, despite Burrow only playing in Kansas City once before Sunday.
Jones deserves to talk after the performance he had as well. Last season, he missed two sacks in the fourth quarter, and he remembered that. On Sunday though, he had two on Joe Burrow.
If you disrespect their house, they will make you pay. So, in a way that was just a disclaimer for all of the other teams that even think about trying to pull a stunt the Bengals did.
