Kansas City Chiefs fans couldn’t help but focus on defensive star Chris Jones in a formal photoshoot shared on social media to reveal the team’s captains for the playoffs. The lineup featured Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, Jones, Harrison Butker,Nick Bolton, and James Winchester. While the photo was meant to inspire team pride, the spacing and arrangement of the players left fans buzzing for all the wrong reasons.
In the image, Jones stands between Mahomes and Bolton, but his positioning seems oddly disjointed compared to the more polished arrangement of Kelce, Winchester, and Butker on the left. Fans quickly speculated that the captains weren’t photographed together, suggesting heavy use of Photoshop to create the final lineup.

The photo that had fans in stitches
“Why does Chris Jones look like a cardboard cutout at a local dealership?” one fan joked, adding crying emojis for effect.
Another fan quipped, “Why do I feel like @StoneColdJones is photoshopped in lol.”
The most creative reactions highlighted Jones‘ seemingly impossible placement in the image. “Chris is both in front of and behind Mahomes, the box, and Bolton all at the same time. He’s unblockable, a true legend,” one commenter added.
Others simply poked fun at the photo-editing skills, with one fan writing, “Did Chris Jones show up for the picture or??? He looks photoshopped in high key lmaooo.”
Chiefs aim for history in the playoffs
Despite the lighthearted reaction to the photoshoot, the Chiefs are gearing up for a historic playoff run. They’re vying to become the first team in the Super Bowl era to secure three consecutive championships. With homefield advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, Kansas City’s road to history begins against the Houston Texans in the Divisional round.
On the other side of the AFC bracket, the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are also fighting for a chance at glory. The Bills, notably, were the only team to defeat the Chiefs at full strength during the regular season.
As fans laugh at the photoshoot mishap, the Chiefs remain focused on adding another championship banner to their legacy.
