Chargers - 27, Chiefs - 21
Q. (Question off microphone).
CHRIS JONES: Tough day. I put the blame on me. Probably could have contained better. But super grateful for the opportunity to play in Brazil and play in an international. It's a lot of fun. The atmosphere was amazing. I just wish we could have closed the game with a W.
Q. What did you see on the line Herbert (inaudible) and how did he get out there when that play unfolded?
CHRIS JONES: The tackle jumped me. I think we were even -- two 3s and two 5s. And just should have stayed outside. I blame me. Could have pass rushed better, could have had a better pass rush, could have contained better. I blame myself.
Q. (Question off microphone).
CHRIS JONES: I think this is a learning point for us as a team, also more particular on the defense. It's a lot of running points we can learn and grow from. First game of the season, I'm quite sure we can watch the film, make some corrections and we'll be better next week.
Q. (Question off microphone).
CHRIS JONES: You're looking at the first game of the season, and you can't judge the team's success by one game or even one particular play.
I think we have 16 more games. We have 16 more opportunities to get better. We're going to watch, make some corrections, fix some errors. I think it was self-inflicted errors, offsides, roughing the passers, multiple times we shot ourselves in the foot, some self-inflicted wounds that we can fix, detail that up and I think we can improve in that aspect.
Q. (Question off microphone).
CHRIS JONES: I think it's more so overall. We are a high-energy team. We've got to go in every game playing like it's a Super Bowl. Anytime teams play the Chiefs it's an opportunity to play a Super Bowl-caliber team and you get to see where your team is at.
I think we was kind of flat early on. We've got to start off a little faster as a team.
Q. (Question off microphone).
CHRIS JONES: I think it's more so about self reflection. And watch the film, be critical on your errors and on yourself, and come prepared this week to make sure you make the corrections. And learn from your mistakes.
I think we all made a lot of mistakes, we all contributed to the loss of today. And it's a lot of areas we can get better in as a team, as individuals, and I think we've got to apply corrections. We've got to fix corrections. And once we're able to do that, I think we can get back on track being successful.
Q. What was the thing that you trained all week to go against the Chargers that didn't happen tonight? And talk about your experience in Brazil.
CHRIS JONES: First and foremost, I'm super grateful we had the opportunity to play in Brazil. You guys are amazing. The fans was -- the atmosphere was incredible.
I wish we would have come out with a W. But like I said, this game is a learning point. It's the first game of the season.
And you always have high hopes of winning every game, especially the first game of the season. First game of the season, everyone has the jitters, a lot of emotions.
Self-inflicted wounds for us kind of bit us in the butt. Penalties, things we can fix, things that I feel like we've been better at that we can make the corrections and make sure we pay attention to them this week and correct them, going into next week playing Philadelphia Eagles.
Q. The camera showed you and Drue on the sidelines being emotional after the third down, what did you think of that sequence?
CHRIS JONES: No comment.
Q. (Inaudible) Is that any concern for the rest of the season of the team is capable of doing (inaudible)?
CHRIS JONES: It's the first game of the season. Unfortunately, our last two games resulted in losses. But if this is our worst, then we've got something to look forward to.
I'm quite sure, over the course of this year, we will continue to get better. We'll continue to improve, and if we continue on the pace and the track that we plan to be, around December we'll be reaching our peak, going into January.
Q. You said yourself this is no time to talk about this loss. It was a tough one, first couple weeks of the season you'll be facing some of the best in football, the Eagles, the Lions and Ravens, as a leader, how will you turn things around inside the locker room and the defensive line?
CHRIS JONES: I think first eliminating mistakes to beat ourselves. Once we eliminate the small mistakes and the small errors, we can fix those self-inflicted wounds and we can focus on the bigger things. But most importantly fixing the small details.
