Defensive tackle Chris Jones on Chiefs primetime games: \u2018Everyone is watching\u2019<\/p>\n

\"NickKANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014<\/p>\n

Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones has played in plenty of big games during his career in Kansas City. <\/p>\n

On Thursday, he said he still enjoys knowing everyone is watching. <\/p>\n

The Chiefs opened its season with a 31-10 win against Denver on Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n

Now, they’ll welcome the Indianapolis Colts for a Sunday Night Football game at Arrowhead Stadium. <\/p>\n

“I actually like the primetime games, and then everyone is watching,” Jones said Thursday. “You know, that’s the excitement about it.”<\/p>\n

Jones said playing in primetime is something the Chiefs have earned through their success, having won three Super Bowls and played in two others since 2020. <\/p>\n

“I think those games are earned as an organization, and we can’t take those for granted,” Jones said.<\/p>\n

There’s another reason he enjoys them: Everyone back home gets to watch.<\/p>\n

“You know, your grandmother and your family, extended family back at home, is going to be watching and tell you what you did and didn’t do,” Jones said.<\/p>\n

Overall in 2026, the Chiefs have six primetime games on the schedule. <\/p>\n

After Sunday’s game, their next game under the lights will be Week 7 in Seattle. <\/p>\n

They’ll also head to Buffalo on Thanksgiving night, play the Rams in Los Angeles in Week 13 and return for a home primetime game against New England in Week 15. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Defensive tackle Chris Jones on Chiefs primetime games: \u2018Everyone is watching\u2019 KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 Chiefs defensive tackle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1003846,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[921,15680,232,2300,131498,346,17865,84340,131492,131457,131478,131489,131452,131482,17406,73560,17388,17877,74765,131485,131491,131477,131479,131494,131488,131450,2025,131490,131487,131480,131493,131483,131495,131481,2005,2908,2793,231,258,3254,7,853,1631,2004,392,131497,2381,1702,118,110,131486,131496,17469,27025,5434,16166,6,18733,10400,11523,16580,18001,3667,4032,505,4638,54673,131484],"class_list":["post-1003845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-indianapolis-colts","tag-arrowhead","tag-arrowhead-stadium","tag-broncos","tag-career","tag-chief-defensive-tackle","tag-chiefs","tag-chiefs-broncos","tag-chiefs-colts","tag-chiefs-colts-2026","tag-chiefs-colts-arrowhead-stadium","tag-chiefs-colts-game","tag-chiefs-colts-sunday-night","tag-chiefs-colts-sunday-night-football","tag-chiefs-colts-week-2","tag-chiefs-defense","tag-chiefs-defensive-tackle","tag-chiefs-football","tag-chiefs-primetime","tag-chiefs-primetime-game","tag-chiefs-primetime-games-2026","tag-chiefs-second-straight-primetime-game","tag-chiefs-star","tag-chiefs-sunday-night","tag-chiefs-sunday-night-football-2026","tag-chiefs-sunday-night-game","tag-chiefs-week-2","tag-chris-jones","tag-chris-jones-arrowhead-stadium","tag-chris-jones-chiefs-colts","tag-chris-jones-chiefs-primetime-games","tag-chris-jones-family-primetime-games","tag-chris-jones-on-primetime-games","tag-chris-jones-primetime-comments","tag-chris-jones-sunday-night-football","tag-colts","tag-defense","tag-defensive-tackle","tag-denver","tag-denver-broncos","tag-family","tag-football","tag-game","tag-home","tag-indianapolis","tag-indianapolis-colts","tag-indianapolis-colts-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-indianapoliscolts","tag-jones","tag-kansas-city","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-kansas-city-chiefs-primetime-schedule","tag-kansas-city-chiefs-sunday-night","tag-kansas-city-football","tag-light","tag-monday","tag-monday-night-football","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-primetime","tag-plenty","tag-primetime","tag-primetime-games","tag-spotlight","tag-sunday","tag-sunday-night-football","tag-super-bowl","tag-thursday","tag-week-2","tag-why-chris-jones-loves-primetime"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1003845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1003845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1003845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1003846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1003845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1003845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1003845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
