Jones argued KC must rekindle energy at Arrowhead, vowing to rush Hurts more aggressively after a Super Bowl taste to spur a revenge‑laden clash with Philadelphia. He praised the young Ashton Gillotte but stressed a collective, relentless rush and disciplined run defense. The Chiefs eye a stronger pass rush while navigating Philly’s formidable front, with Barkley’s talent noted as a reminder of the offensive firepower KC faces.

Jones outlined a front-to-back plan: run the defense into the quarterback, meet at the pocket, and use a bunched, cohesive rush to corral Hurts and Philly’s big bodies. He highlighted Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, and Jason Kelce as a well‑coached, tricky line, while acknowledging Hurts’ mobility and the need for patience and speed from KC’s edge and interior players. The comments also touched on Gillotte’s progress and the broader revenge arc for KC fans.
