Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones was named the AFC defensive player of the week after a two-sack performance in Week 9. The NFL announced the award Wednesday.

Jones sacked Jets quarterback Geno Smith twice, recorded four total tackles, and batted down one pass in Kansas City’s 35-12 win.

It was the fourth time Jones has won the award and the first time since the 2024 season.

Jones will look to keep the sacks coming in Atlanta this Sunday.
