Life is undeniably good for the Kansas City Chiefs. Fresh off back-to-back Super Bowl titles, the Chiefs are currently sitting at an impressive 9-0 as they continue their quest for a historic three-peat as Super Bowl champions. With a dominant offense and a defense that has risen to the top ranks of the league, Kansas City seems unstoppable.
At the core of their success are standout players like tight end Travis Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones, both of whom have not only contributed significantly on the field but also forged a strong bond off of it.
The friendship between Jones and Kelce is evident, often highlighted by their playful antics during practice sessions. Whether it’s friendly banter or messing around on the field, their camaraderie has brought an infectious energy to the Chiefs organization.
This week, their playful dynamic took center stage when a video of Kelce “dunking” on Chris Jones during a team stretching period went viral on social media, much to the delight of fans.
The video, originally posted by Harold Kuntz of Fox 4 in Kansas City, showed Kelce sneaking up behind Jones and mimicking a dunk over his head, drawing laughter and cheers from teammates.
The lighthearted moment quickly spread across the internet, with fans enjoying the lighter side of Chiefs’ practices.

Jones, of course, got the chance to respond when he spoke to the media afterward, addressing the viral clip with his characteristic humor. “Hey listen, I’m gonna say this right now,” Jones began, a smile spreading across his face.
“I’ve dunked on Travis so many times. All of a sudden, y’all caught the time Travis caught me slipping.” His response was met with laughter from the reporters, as Jones playfully downplayed the incident.
Jones continued the fun as he jokingly confronted Kuntz for posting the video without his consent. “You didn’t even give me consent!” Jones said, laughing.
He then went on to recount the moment in detail, giving insight into his relationship with Kelce and their constant back-and-forth. “It’s good love,” Jones added. “I’ve caught Travis slipping so many times, and I was caught in La-La Land. I was looking for him, and I was like, ‘Where the hell is he at?’ because he’s always trying to sneak up behind me and dunk on me. I’ve caught him a couple times, but I couldn’t find him yesterday. And about the time I turn back around, all I see is 87 jumping on my head.”
The playful interaction between Jones and Kelce is just another example of the close-knit chemistry that has helped propel the Chiefs to the top of the league.
Their bond extends beyond the field, creating an atmosphere of trust, fun, and mutual respect—qualities that have been crucial in their sustained success.
For Jones and Kelce, these moments are about keeping the energy light, maintaining focus, and building relationships that translate into cohesive play on game day.
Looking ahead, the Chiefs will be looking to keep the good vibes rolling as they prepare for their next matchup.
They travel to Buffalo on Sunday to face Josh Allen and the Bills, a team that has consistently been one of Kansas City’s toughest competitors in recent years.
The Chiefs know they’ll need both their offense and defense clicking to secure a win, and with players like Kelce and Jones leading the way—both on and off the field—they’re confident in their chances.
For fans, the anticipation is building as Kansas City looks to extend their winning streak and continue their march toward another Super Bowl.
With their strong team chemistry, playful spirit, and unyielding determination, the Chiefs are once again proving why they are the team to beat this season.
And while moments like Kelce’s practice “dunk” on Jones bring smiles and laughs, they also highlight the camaraderie that makes this team so special.
