New story. The chats at the combine on Chris Jones have reached an unanimous sentiment. “He deserves to get paid." “I would give him a ton." “He should get a massive deal from the Chiefs." On the Chiefs' "growing optimism" that they’ll keep Jones.

This defense might be special. Also, Trent McDuffie is one of the best cornerbacks in the league. And Mike Edwards makes one of the smartest mid-play decisions of the season, lateraling the ball to Bryan Cook for a game-swinging 59-yard touchdown.
