The Kansas City Chiefs have achieved a level of success rarely seen in the modern NFL and will face a final test in their attempt to complete a championship three-peat when they face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on February 9.
Though the Chiefs are a well-oiled football-game-winning machine, one of Kansas City’s players seemed certain that his rather bizarre equipment choices were helping the team win.
In a press conference that was held this week ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones told the media about some of the superstitions he has when it comes to his cleats, gloves, and gameday attire.

Though his gloves may smell “like a dead animal,” Jones’ outstanding production helped buoy Kansas City keep its Super Bowl aspirations throughout the regular season and playoffs.
Don’t expect Jones to change his ways heading into the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Eagles.
