Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones will be talking to the players union after the season regarding an upcoming stretch that quarterback Patrick Mahomes awaits with “not a good feeling.”

The two-time defending Super Bowl champions are one of four teams playing on Christmas Day, a Wednesday, after having played the two previous weekends. That’s three games in 11 days between Dec. 15 and Dec. 25 for the Chiefs (12—1) and Pittsburgh Steelers (10—3), who play at 10 a.m. Eastern time on Christmas Day; and the Baltimore Ravens (8—5) and Houston Texans (8—5), who play at 1:30 p.m.
