Kansas City, MO – The Kansas City Chiefs locker room is shaking after head coach Andy Reid made a stunning move that’s sending shockwaves through the NFL. Following a critical defensive blunder in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Reid announced that star defensive tackle Chris Jones will be benched in favor of a rising rookie in Week 6.
When asked about the controversial decision, Reid didn’t mince words:
“No one is untouchable on this team. I don’t care if you’re a rookie or a five-time Pro Bowler — if you make mistakes that cost us, you sit. That’s how accountability works in Kansas City.”
The move comes after Jones was flagged on a crucial third-down play that extended Jacksonville’s game-winning drive — a mistake that left both fans and teammates stunned. Sources inside the team say Reid’s decision is meant to “send a message” that discipline and effort outweigh status.
Fans are torn — some praising Reid for holding even his biggest stars accountable, while others worry that benching one of the league’s top defenders could backfire in a key stretch of the season.
