Chiefs star addresses clip of him seemingly complaining about tush push

Kansas City Chiefs star Chris Jones claimed a viral clip of him complaining about the Philadelphia Eagles’ plays was not a reaction to the tush push.

The NFL released in-game audio from the Eagles’ 20-17 win over the Chiefs on Sunday in which Jones could be heard complaining on the bench after Philadelphia scored a touchdown on the tush push play. Naturally, it was widely assumed that Jones was complaining about that specific play given he complained that the Eagles “ran the same play seven f—ing times.”

According to Jones, that was not the case. He said Thursday the Eagles kept running inside zone runs against the Chiefs to great success.

“I never once complained about the tush push on the sideline,” Jones said. “We actually stopped the tush push multiple times. The clip y’all seen is portrayed as, they ran the tush push, that came out. No, that was because they ran the inside zone five times, and I’m like, as a defensive line, we’ve got to adjust to that.”
