STARKVILLE – The former Mississippi State duo of Chris Jones and Willie Gay Jr. certainly made their mark for Kansas City’s defense during Week 10.
Jones and Gay contributed to half of the Chiefs’ five sacks in a 27-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Jones recorded 1.5 sacks marking the 15th multi-sack of his career. The Houston native ranks 10th in the NFL with seven sacks this year and is fifth in franchise history with 56.5 career sacks. He is also tied for the league lead in overall defensive grade (92.6) from Pro Football Focus (PFF) and ranks third in pass rush with a grade of 92.3.
Stone. Cold. Jones.

Gay topped Kansas City with eight tackles including one for loss. His third-down sack gives the Starkville product a career-high 1.5 this year and three for his career.
Jones and Gay were not the only former Bulldog defenders that had fun in the backfield. Montez Sweat recorded his fourth sack of the season and 25th of his career for the Washington Commanders. He ranks second in the NFL with 20 quarterback hits in 2022.
