Chris Jones knows how to do two things: Cry during the National Anthem and sack the opposing quarterback.
Kansas City fans have come to see Jones’ tear-stained cheeks during the anthem quite a bit over the years. Before the AFC Championship Game in 2023, Jones was in tears before his team took on the Cincinnati Bengals.
Nine months ago, the feared pass rusher was also crying his eyes out before the Chiefs took on the Houston Texans.
The same thing happened once again before Monday Night Football.
Chris Jones couldn’t control his emotions during the national anthem as he got set to face the Washington Commanders at Arrowhead on Monday Night Football in the final matchup of Week 9.
Before the game, retired United States Air Force Master Sergeant Robert Carter performed The Star-Spangled Banner. ESPN captured the national anthem performance as well as Jones’ reaction to it.

Chris Jones Helps The Chiefs Stay Hot
Remember when the Kansas City Chiefs were 0-2 and everyone thought they were dead in the water?
Now, the team is 5-3 after winning five of the past six games.
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Washington Commanders, 28-7, on Monday night, behind a strong second half, to move to 5-3 on the season.
Chris Jones may not have had the best statistical game, but his presence alone made sure that the Commanders’ offense could only score once all game long.
On the year, he has six combined tackles and two sacks.
Jones has rebounded nicely from being exposed for his lack of effort during a game-winning drive by the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this month.
“I thought multiple times we had him. We’ve just gotta finish,” Chris Jones said of the final play at the time.
