Chris Jones brought a tissue for his tears during the 2025 Super Bowl national anthem

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones has a history of tearing up during the national anthem, and he came ready for his emotions during Sunday’s Super Bowl.

During musician Jon Batiste’s stirring rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Jones actually had a tissue with him ready to wipe away his tears.
