  "account": "Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones has made a significant leap in his career, moving up in the team's all-time sacks list. Despite only recording 0.5 sacks in the first seven games, Jones showed his form against the New York Jets. He logged two sacks against Jets quarterback Geno Smith on Sunday, increasing his season total to 2.5. This performance saw Jones climb above former Chiefs defensive end Tamba Hali, who had retired in 2017 with a total of 89.5 sacks. Jones now stands second on the Chiefs' all-time sacks list, trailing franchise leader Derrick Thomas with 126.5 sacks. Thomas, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, remains the NFL's sacks leader with 126.5 sacks recorded throughout his career with the Chiefs. While Jones is still some distance from surpassing Thomas, his recent performance was noteworthy. His 90th career sack, recorded as a loss of six yards, ended the Jets' drive in the fourth quarter of their 35-12 loss to the Chiefs. Jones' teammate George Karlaftis also contributed, recording two sacks on Smith that day. Ashton Gillotte added the fifth sack for Kansas City.",
