The Kansas City Chiefs picked up their first AFC West win of the 2024 season against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chiefs' defense was dominant in the second half of the 17-10 Week 4 win.
After the Chargers got off to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, the Chiefs did not allow another score the rest of the day. They allowed 224 total yards and just 55 rushing yards from an offense that was averaging almost 128 per-game entering Sunday.
While plenty of players were impactful throughout the afternoon, one of the biggest standouts was five-time All-Pro defensive lineman Chris Jones. After not recording a sack since Week 1, Jones had two sacks and four total tackles against Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles offense.
The five-time Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowl champion now has a team-leading three sacks, nine tackles and a forced fumble on the year. Chiefs teammate and fellow defensive lineman Charles Omenihu took to social media following the game to shoutout Jones after the performance.
"Two sacks good day", said Omenihu.
Omenihu has yet to return for the Chiefs this season as he recovers from a knee injury that he sustained in 2023, but when he does return to play, he and Jones will certainly return to being a formidable duo on the defensive line.
