The Kansas City Chiefs stand at the doorstep of NFL history, with a chance to achieve what no team has done before – win three straight Super Bowls.
At the heart of this potential milestone is Chris Jones and a defense masterfully orchestrated by Steve Spagnuolo.
Just before the game, Jones ignited his teammates’ spirits with a passionate pregame speech.
“Let’s make history!” Jones declared to his fellow Chiefs, emphasizing the magnitude of what lies ahead.
The energy in his words reflected the weight of the moment, as he urged the team to seize this historic opportunity.

Jones has been nothing short of exceptional during Kansas City’s previous two Super Bowl runs, and Sunday’s game puts him back in the spotlight.
The 30-year-old defensive star’s impact this season earned him a sixth consecutive Pro Bowl nod and third straight First Team All-Pro selection.
As the Chiefs’ defense continues to be crucial to their success, Jones’s performance could prove decisive in Super Bowl LIX.
“Play for each other. Play with each other,” the All-Pro defensive tackle rallied his teammates.
The Chiefs nearly lost Jones to free agency after the 2023 season, but the organization secured his services with a lucrative five-year, $158.75 million deal.
He responded with another impressive campaign, recording five sacks.
Now, Jones faces perhaps his biggest test yet – containing Saquon Barkley.
Reports indicate the defense has made stopping Barkley’s explosive runs their primary focus, believing it could be the difference-maker in securing their historic three-peat.
