\n

A Kansas City Chiefs star has deactivated his social media accounts after facing heavy backlash from fans in the wake of their defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n

Travis Kelce and Co were beaten 31-28 by the Jaguars in a thrilling Monday Night Football showdown which was settled with one of the final plays of the game.<\/p>\n

With just 30 seconds remaining in the fourth, Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence rushed into the end zone after remarkably recovering from two stumbles following the snap.<\/p>\n

There was plenty of time for the Chiefs defense to adjust to the play and attempt a stop but footage later showed a lackluster effort from the visiting players.<\/p>\n

In particular, defensive tackle Chris Jones was singled out by frustrated supporters over his role in the chaotic and seemingly improbably touchdown run.<\/p>\n

Jones appeared to stop once Lawrence seemed to stumble, before reacting too late to stop the Jags QB once he had recovered and rushed towards the end zone.<\/p>\n

\n

Jones (95) came under criticism for his role in the Jaguars’ game-winning touchdown<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jones was practically at a stand-still by the time Jaguars QB Lawrence reached the end zone<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Fans were quick to voice their frustrations with Jones and, shortly after the game, some noticed that the Chiefs star had deactivated both his Twitter and Instagram.<\/p>\n

Posting a clip of the game-winning touchdown, one fan said: ‘I’ve watched this play 100 times now\u2026 Still can’t figure out\u2026<\/p>\n

‘Can somebody tell me what Chris Jones – number 95 – is doing here with the entire game on the line? Not even gonna TRY?’<\/p>\n

Another said: ‘Chris jones I love you, but your effort on this play with the game on the line genuinely makes me want to punch a hole in my wall. This is f***ing pathetic’.<\/p>\n

Similarly, one said: ‘It\u2019s time to have a conversation about Chris Jones this season.<\/p>\n

‘He\u2019s spent more time pouting and throwing tantrums on the sideline than he has making plays on the field.\u00a0Inexcusable effort on the Lawrence touchdown’.<\/p>\n

When interviewed after the game, Jones explained that ‘thought we had him’ and labelled Lawrence’s touchdown as a ‘fluke play’.<\/p>\n

He told reporters: ‘I thought multiple times we had him. We just got to finish. We’ve got to finish. We got multiple guys there that we just got to finish that play.<\/p>\n

‘It was a fluke play for him to be able to break that many tackles. But yeah, I put it on us as a defense. We’ve got to finish. You know, we’ve got to bring him down on that.’<\/p>\n

\n

Jones seemingly deactivated both his Twitter and Instagram accounts in wake of the backlash<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fans did not hold back in their brutal analysis of Jones’ efforts on social media<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Elsewhere on the night, Patrick Mahomes threw a disastrous pick six as the Jacksonville Jaguars condemned the Chiefs to their third defeat of the season.<\/p>\n

Mahomes completed 29 of his 41 passes for 318 yards, a touchdown and, disastrously, a 99-yard pick six.<\/p>\n

Late in the third quarter of Monday’s game, the Chiefs quarterback tried to find JuJu Smith-Schuster in the end zone on a 2nd-and-goal, only for Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd to pick him off at Jacksonville’s two-yard line.<\/p>\n

Lloyd then brushed off Travis Kelce and dodged out the way of a flying Mahomes as he desperately tried to stop him, before getting past Kareem Hunt and running almost 100 yards for a breathtaking touchdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
