Mahomes has every reason to be happy about Jones’ return. After all, he was the defensive anchor of a Kansas City team that relied heavily on its defense to make the playoffs amid the offense’s regular season struggles.
With Jones back in the fold, the Chiefs’ chances to really become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls definitely improved.
