The Kansas City Chiefs have not lost to the San Francisco 49ers in a decade, winning each of their six head-to-head matchups in that span.<\/p>\n
How much that plays into Super Bowl Sunday in a little over one week remains to be seen, but two players that figure to have something to say about it are Chiefs star defensive lineman<\/a> Chris Jones and 49ers tight end George Kittle.<\/p>\n Kittle was full of praise for the impact Jones can have on a game.<\/p>\n \u201cChris Jones is really good at football<\/a>,\u201d Kittle told reporters on February 2. \u201cEvery time you give him a 1-on-1, he seems to dominate it. Put him out on the edge versus the tackles, he does a really good job over there. They usually go at the right tackle, so he does a really good job just doing that by himself.”<\/p>\n \u201cI don’t block him very often; maybe once in a while. I would just say he is a very dominant player. He’s incredibly physical, he’s huge, he’s very hard to block 1-on-1. Like I said, when you have a guy on the interior that’s as dominant as that guy is, you have to account for him with like three hands or two sets of hands.\u201d<\/p>\n Jones\u2019 29, finished the season with 10.5 sacks, his third time posting double-digit sacks in his career, despite missing all of training camp, preseason, and Week 1 of the regular season.<\/p>\n He graded out as the seventh-best defensive lineman<\/a>, per Pro Football Focus.<\/p>\n Pass-rush productivity ranks out of 60 qualifying DTs…<\/p>\n 1.
