Chris Jones got the trash talking started early.
Tempers were running high even before the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in the divisional round of the postseason on Sunday.
Jones, the Chiefs star defensive tackle, was on the field for warmups and could be seen having words with Bills fans in the stands in a moment captured by cameras.
The heated interaction, which saw Jones loudly yell "Y'all suck" at Bills fans, was shared by NFL Network reporter James Palmer to his account on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Jones was showered with boos by Bills Mafia, prompting a heated response from the five-time Pro Bowler. Buffalo fans certainly have plenty of reasons to dislike Jones and the Chiefs, as Kansas City has knocked the Bills out of the playoffs in each of their last two postseason meetings.
If this interaction was any indication, the Chiefs—Bills game promises to be a game filled with intense emotions. Currently, Kansas City leads Buffalo 13—10 with halftime nearing.
