Had the Chiefs failed to come back to defeat the Raiders on Monday night, even more attention would be paid to the deeply controversial roughing the passer call on defensive lineman undefined, for what would have been a strip sack and fumble recovery off of Las Vegas quarterback Derek Carr.
Down 17–7 late in the second quarter, Jones made what looked to be a momentum-shifting play at the time. He raked Carr over the throwing arm from behind, dislodging the ball before taking the quarterback down and recovering the fumble in one motion.
Unfortunately for Kansas City, the referees called him for roughing the passer, extending the Raiders possession. They finished it with a Daniel Carlson field goal, pushing their lead to 20–7. The Chiefs would ultimately come back in the second half to pull out a dramatic 30–29 win.
