Chiefs' Chris Jones in heated sideline argument with coach

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 02:31 · Archive

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones had a screaming match with defensive line coach Joe Cullen during Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones was caught in a heated argument with defensive line coach Joe Cullen on the sideline during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. With Kansas City leading 9-3 in the second quarter, Cullen approached Jones on the bench and placed his hand on his shoulder. Jones immediately shoved Cullen's hand away and the two engaged in a screaming match.

Neither outlet reported what sparked the disagreement. Commentator Trent Green, calling the game for CBS, said Jones and Cullen "have a great relationship" and speculated that Jones objected to Cullen touching his shoulder, suggesting he should have "asked him politely to take it off" instead. Green is a former Kansas City quarterback.

Cullen has been Jones' defensive line coach since 2022. During that time, Jones has earned All-Pro honours twice and won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs. The team went on to defeat the Chargers 22-6, with their defence sacking Justin Herbert four times. Kansas City improved to 5-0 on the season, while Los Angeles fell to 0-6.
