Chiefs star speaks out after fighting with teammate over mistake on game-losing play

Emotions were high for the Kansas City Chiefs

Following the game, Tranquill told Jesse Newell of The Athletic that his emotions were high after the play decided the outcome of the game, but he doesn't think the spat will affect their relationship.

“Emotions are just high,” Tranquill said. “We’re all competitive. We all want to win. And so we were just discussing what happened on the play, and emotions were just high... Chris is a great player. I’m not sure what happened. I haven’t seen the tape over there, but we’re teammates, man. We’re brothers. It’s just an emotional moment. We’ve had it before in the past. That’s my guy. We’ll be all right. We’ll get better from it.”

Jones told reporters that he blamed himself for going inside on the play, but he did not want to comment on his argument with Tranquill.

Jones and Tranquill need to put aside their differences quickly before playing one of the most explosive league offenses in Week 2. The Chiefs will host the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 14. 

After the loss, Patrick Mahomes sent a strong warning to the Chiefs, and they must listen.
