Kansas City Chiefs' star defensive lineman, Chris Jones, expressed his determination to achieve an impressive feat in the upcoming NFL season. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Jones revealed his goal of reaching 20 sacks and helping the Chiefs secure their third straight Super Bowl championship, a feat that has never been accomplished before.

Jones, who recently signed a new five-year extension with the Chiefs, made it clear that retirement was not on his mind. When asked about teammate Travis Kelce's comments on potential retirement, Jones dismissed the idea, stating that he did not even want to entertain thoughts about the 'R' word.

At the age of 29, Jones is almost five years younger than Kelce, providing him with more time to continue pursuing his team and personal goals. Despite already clinching three Super Bowl championships and earning five All-Pro mentions, Jones remains hungry for more success.

Jones had an impressive performance last season, recording 10.5 sacks despite missing the first game due to a contract dispute. He revealed that he aims to reach the 20-sack milestone, which would require dedication, support from his teammates, and a bit of luck. Jones also highlighted the significance of the "Sack Nation," his nickname for the Chiefs pass-rush unit that ranked second in the league in sacks last year.

While Jones emphasized his individual ambitions, he also expressed his desire for Kelce to continue playing alongside him throughout his current contract. Jones playfully urged Kelce to remain with the Chiefs for at least four to six more years, emphasizing their shared success and goals.

Kelce, who recently mentioned playing until "the wheels come off," has not indicated that the 2024 season would be his last. If the Chiefs maintain their winning streak, there is a possibility that Kelce, who would be pushing past 40 years old, might also continue his career.

As the Chiefs gear up for an unprecedented three-peat attempt, they are set to become the first team since 1927 to play on six different days of the week. With both Jones and Kelce driven to achieve even greater success, the Chiefs look poised to remain Super Bowl contenders for the foreseeable future.

Jones' determination and relentless pursuit of his goals, along with Kelce's exceptional talent and dedication, make for a formidable combination. As the new NFL season approaches, all eyes will be on the Chiefs, eagerly watching to see if they can make history once again.
