The Kansas City Chiefs will play the Las Vegas Raiders in the second-ever NFL game on Black Friday. The monumental showcase at Arrowhead Stadium is exciting for audiences worldwide but can be taxing on the players involved from both teams.
Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones has never been shy about sharing his thoughts on any matter throughout his career. During Tuesday’s press conference, he gave his thoughts on playing another game on a short week with reporters.
” I rather just play on Sunday, not these Thursday and Friday games. It’s not enough rest time, but i get it. We was allocated for the spot, only teams playing,” said Jones. “Personally for me, I love my rest. I have a recovery routine. Throughout the week, my body kind of gets used to it. So, to kind of speed it up, everything that’s challenging at points.”
Jones hasn’t racked up the sack numbers this season due to constant double-teams but has opened up opportunities for teammates. He won’t like playing on Friday but will still perform like it was a typical Sunday anyway.
