Chris Jones, playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, has had the opportunity to play, to quote our friend jettio, "Tackle football as it is played at the NFL PLAYOFF level" 10 times.

2018. 2 games. 0 tackles. 0 sacks. 4 pass deflections.

2019. 2 games. 3 tackles. 0 sacks 3 pass deflections. 2 hurries.

2020. 3 games. 9 tackles. 0 sacks 3 hurries.

2021. 3 games. 6 tackles (2 for loss!!!!!!!) 0 sacks 2 hurries.

That's TEN playoff games with 18 tackles 0 sacks 7 hurries, and 7 pass deflections.

That's good for an average of 0 sacks 1.8 tackles, 0.7 batted balls, and 0.7 hurries per playoff game.

Is that good? Is that highest paid defender in the league production? Is it even the 60 million guaranteed he got production? I sure don't think so.

By comparison, through 10 regular season games this year he has 9 sacks.

Regular season heroes can be fun to watch. But you get paid the huge money for what you can do in the post season. It sure does look like the funds for his playoff performances have been grossly misallocated.

For a dude referring to himself as "Sack Nation" he sure doesn't live up to that when the lights are brightest.

We expect Mahomes to be superman in the post season. We expect Kelce to beast guys and score tds.

For some reason, Chris Jones gets a pass for absolute mediocrity in the playoffs.

Maybe this year is his year. Playoff game eleven and beyond, to finally bring down a qb in the post season.

Oh. Good thing contracts are paid based on one game you already played, based on hypothetical opinions that can't be proven. Only your imagination can conjure up the chain of events that occur if Jones doesn't play that game, or doesn't swat those passes. Jimmy couldn't hit the side of a barn in the 4th.

Heh. That's a load off my mind hoping this dude shows up in the playoffs. Also explains why he didn't sack the oldest slowest qb in the league in that second sb. He didn't need to.

He's already earned all the money.

Huh? I'm pretty sure that wasn't Jones.

Edit: initial pressure was indeed by Jones. I was remembering the hit by Pennel, but Jones did have a major role in that int.

Jones whiffed on the most gimme sack you'll ever see.

Mike Pennel came in on cleanup to plow into Jimmy G and force the eyes closed INT.

But sure, credit Jones for a hit he didn't make.

Dude. I used to think this, but last year I found this compilation of Jones impact in the playoffs. It took only one minute to change my mind.
