Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones spoke with reporters during his postgame press conference, reacting to the team's resilience in Sunday's comeback overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
"We were sitting at 5-5; we have seven games left. The top team in our division is 9-2, so I think it's a must-win. If we lose this game, we go to 5-6, and our playoff chance is at 23 percent, and we have a tough schedule coming up," said Jones. "I think this is a must-win game. I think we have to take it like that through the end of the season, as a team. These games are important for seeding and also for securing our spot in the playoffs."

Jones provided an honest assessment of his plans after the victory as the team prepares for its Thanksgiving matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.
"I think tonight. I'm going to rest a little bit and watch a little film on Dallas. I think they play at 3:30 or something like that. I'll watch the game so I can get ahead of the schedule," said Jones. "I'll come in tomorrow, watch a little more football, and prepare for Dallas."
The Cowboys were victorious in their own comeback against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12 with a game-winning field goal, 24-21. Both teams will bring plenty of momentum from thrilling games heading into their Texas showdown.
