Why Chiefs' Chris Jones Will Avoid Trash-Talking With Tom Brady

Chris Jones made a costly mistake in the Chiefs’ 20–17 loss to the Colts on Sunday afternoon. The Kansas City defensive tackle picked up an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for using what one referee described as “disturbing language” in an exchange with Colts quarterback Matt Ryan.

If not for Jones’s penalty, the Colts late-game offensive drive would have ended. However, Jones committing the penalty led to Indianapolis capitalizing on the miscue and scoring the game-winning touchdown of the contest.

But as the Chiefs turn the page from last week’s loss to focus on Tom Brady and a matchup against the Buccaneers on NBC Sunday Night Football, the three-time Pro Bowler told Sports Radio 810 WHB on Thursday that he will not make the same mistake he made with Ryan with Brady.
