Kyler Murray was spectacular in the Arizona Cardinals' Week 1 opener against the Tennessee Titans. But Chandler Jones was arguably the man who keyed victory for them the most.
The Cardinals QB spoke out about Jones in a recent presser. While he thoroughly praised him, he also took a hilarious shot at his teammate for not being in the best shape.
“He's a really unorthodox guy,” said Murray. “He takes his shirt off and he doesn't look too good. He makes plays all of a sudden gets after the quarterback … He's an expert at rushing the passer. I'm glad he's on my team”

If this is Chandler Jones out of shape, then imagine how he'd look if he was absolutely ripped. Jones tallied five (!!!) sacks for the Cardinals including four in just the first quarter alone.
Chandler Jones is unstoppable.

Not only is he great on defense on the football field. Chandler Jones can also dish some heat right back, responding to the Cardinals quarterback with a diss at his hairdo.

With Chandler Jones hunting for one more big payday next offseason, he's off to a roaring start. But he assured fans that his focus is on the field.
"Putting the team first and ignoring the noise" @chanjones55's mindset as the season progresses.

If Chandler Jones continues to play at that level every week, the money will come, and so will the Cardinals wins.
