For Pete's Sake

Chiefs star Chris Jones dined Saturday at his favorite spot in Buffalo

When he met with the media Thursday, Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones was asked about what fuels him when entering a hostile environment.

The Chiefs will play the Bills on Sunday afternoon at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, a place where the defending AFC champions won’t get a warm welcome.

“First is about taking it in,” Jones said. “I’m gonna go to Bar-Bills, grab some wings. You’ve got to accept the culture a little bit, understand the culture. And the fans there are very, very in tune, they’re very similar to Kansas City fans. But it’s no place like Arrowhead, but very similar in the aspects of how tuned in they are with their football team.”

Jones has previously talked about his love of Bar-Bill Tavern, which has multiple locations in the suburbs of Buffalo.

And, sure enough, Jones on Saturday night visited the place that he says has the best wings.

Jones made that comment last year when he said he’d be stopping at Bar-Bill Tavern before the Chiefs played the Bills in the regular season.
