Chiefs DE Chris Jones saw a penalty flag in the air, so he caught it

Makes sense!

The Kansas City Chiefs have gotten out to a good start against the Titans at home in their Wild Card game. They’re even looking smooth in things you wouldn’t imagine.

Officials threw a flag on the Titans for an unnecessary roughness after Ben Jones shoved somebody after the play. Defensive end Chris Jones noticed the flag mid-flight, and made an effortless one-handed grab:

Those flags aren’t hard to catch or anything. But it’s not usual to see a player catch a flag like that, and he did it without even thinking about it.

Jones must have somewhere to be, and wants to save the officials time by getting flags off the field as soon as possible.

The Chiefs have had a love-hate relationship with flags this season. Against the Jets last month, Marcus Peters did the opposite of Jones, and chucked one into the stands:

Peters’ action is a little bit more understandable, since that one was on the Chiefs.

Maybe this won’t be the last time we see the Chiefs mess with penalty flags.
