Chris Jones sends message about Kansas City Chiefs returning to the Super Bowl
Jones posted a message aimed at Chiefs fans as Super Bowl LX took place without his team.
The defensive star made it clear that he believes Kansas City’s absence will be temporary.
“Took a year off, we will be back to it next year!” Jones wrote on X.
The message reflected Jones’s belief in the Chiefs’ ability to rebound quickly.
It also reinforced his role as a leader within the team, setting expectations for their return to contention rather than a long-term rebuild.
