Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (95) reacts during the first half against the Philadelphia Eagles at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones has had a very emotional start to his Sunday ahead of a big Week 4 game.

Hours before the Chiefs' clash with the Baltimore Ravens in Kansas City, Jones was in Mississippi attending his aunt's funeral. According to multiple reports, the six-time Pro Bowler flew back to Kansas City on a flight scheduled to land at 2:40 p.m. CT, less than one hour before the 3:25 p.m. CT scheduled kickoff.

CBS cameras showed Jones arriving at Arrowhead Stadium at 2:57 p.m. Announcer Tracy Wolfson said just prior to the game's kickoff that Jones missed pregame warmups and was dressed to play, though it was still unclear whether he'd make a start.

Moments later, Jones took the field for the Chiefs' first defensive snap of the game to make his fourth consecutive start of the year.

Through three weeks, the 31-year-old Jones has played 85.3% of the Chiefs' defensive snaps. He's recorded five total tackles – including three for a loss – and secured his first sack of the year in Week 3.

Jones recorded one quarterback hit in the opening drive. The Ravens scored a touchdown to open the game and lead 7-3 in the first quarter.
