Jones said he and many others in the Chiefs facility look back on their 40-22 loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX as a reminder that they have a lot of work to do to reach their ultimate goal.

A lot of people in the building think we could have done better. We think we’re better, and we’re focused on getting back to the mountaintop now.”
