The Kansas City Chiefs are once again heading towards yet another AFC West division title and likely Super Bowl win, but you’d never know it by how their sideline looked on Sunday.
The Chiefs hosted the 0-5 Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and the game pretty much went as expected. LA’s hapless offense wasn’t able to move the ball with any consistency and the Chiefs’ offense imposed their will, outside two turnovers.

With his team ahead 9-3 in the second quarter, Chris Jones, the Chiefs’ star defensive tackle, sat down on the Kansas City bench. Joe Cullen, the team’s defensive line coach, came over to talk to him, putting his hand on Jones’ shoulder, as coaches are wont to do.

Trent Green, calling the game as an analyst for CBS, said on the broadcast that he believes Jones and Cullen “have a great relationship.”
As for what the disagreement was about, Green speculated that he didn’t “think Chris liked the fact that he put his hand on his shoulder.” He added that instead of immediately getting physical, Jones should have “asked him politely to take it off.”
It’s still unclear what exactly the fight was over. Cullen coached Jones for the past five seasons, starting in 2022. During those five years, Jones has been first-team All-Pro three times, made the Pro Bowl each season, and won two Super Bowls. Not a bad resume together.
