Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones commended Kirk Cousins after the Raiders' hard-fought Week 4 loss, praising the veteran quarterback as a "warrior" on the field. Despite the Raiders' valiant effort, they ultimately fell short, resulting in a 30-27 Chiefs victory at Allegiant Stadium.
