Jacksonville was down four with 30 seconds left in the game, but at Kansas City&#8217;s one-yard line. The defense needed to make a play, but they ultimately couldn&#8217;t come through.<\/p>\n<p>Trevor Lawrence took the snap, immediately tripped, but got back on his feet and scrambled in for the game-winning touchdown run. It was a heads-up play by Lawrence, but Chris Jones displayed an embarrassing lack of effort as he literally just stood and watched the former first-overall pick dash for the endzone.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_249913\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-249913\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-249913\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Chris-Jones-Chiefs-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Jones Chiefs\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Chris-Jones-Chiefs-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Chris-Jones-Chiefs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Chris-Jones-Chiefs-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Chris-Jones-Chiefs-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Chris-Jones-Chiefs-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Chris-Jones-Chiefs-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Chris-Jones-Chiefs-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-249913\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sep 28, 2025; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Chris Jones (95) takes the field prior to a game against the Baltimore Ravens at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
