Jack Jones reveals Raiders’ key strategy to stop Chiefs in Week 16
Raiders cornerback Jack Jones and his teammates are aware of criticisms regarding the Kansas City Chiefs’ perceived lack of offensive weapons. Contrary to concerns about Chiefs’ receivers, Jack Jones, who was arrested at airport, emphasized that their primary focus is on stopping Patrick Mahomes, considering him the key threat.
“We’re not worried about them,” Jones said. “It’s Patrick Mahomes we’ve got to stop. You stop the magician, then the act is over.”
The CB believes all they need to focus on the Chiefs QB and they are right to do so as he has once again played incredibly this season and had also helped his team win the Super Bowl last season.
However, they should be worried about Travis Kelce as well, as Taylor Swift will reportedly attend the game and boost the TE’s confidence.
Jones also emphasized the transient nature of success in football, stating, “Here today and gone tomorrow,” emphasizing the need to stay focused on the next play and game.
“That’s football. We just have to keep playing ball. Imagine I make that play and we lose. You just have to keep moving forward.”
Despite being the highest-rated defensive player, he acknowledged room for improvement but felt significantly better than when he initially joined the team. Let’s wait and watch whether their strategy against Patrick Mahomes will work for the team in the Week 16 game or not.
