Chris Jones filled up the stat sheet on Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs held the New York Jets out of the end zone throughout the game, and as the league handed out its weekly awards on Wednesday, Jones earned some much-deserved recognition.

Jones was named the AFC "Defensive Player of the Week" following a performance in which he tallied five pressures, two sacks and a batted pass on Sunday. He was the anchor of a Chiefs defense that recorded a 50% pressure rate and five sacks on Jets quarterback Geno Smith, ultimately holding the Jets without a touchdown on the day.

This marks Jones' fourth-career "Player of the Week" award, and his first since 2024.

Jones and the rest of the Chiefs' defense will now look to turn in another strong performance this weekend as Kansas City takes on the Atlanta Falcons.
