All-Pro defensive lineman Chris Jones was visibly frustrated during his postgame press conference following a loss to the Bills. That presser would be cut short due to an unforeseen incident.
The ceiling literally fell in as media members evaded a tile that came tumbling into the crowd.
It gave the defender good reason to leave early after a deflating defeat at the hands of Buffalo.
It appeared the Chiefs had come back on a miraculous go-ahead touchdown in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, only to have the play wiped out by the rarely seen offensive offsides call.
On the play, Travis Kelce hauled in a long pass before lateralling the ball to Kadarius Toney. Toney would stroll into the endzone, but laundry on the field brought the play back.

Kansas City wouldn’t find the endzone again, falling 20-17.
The controversial call sparked an immediate reaction from fans and media on what was a frustrating night for the Chiefs all around.
Earlier in the matchup, Chris Jones was seen in an argument with a defensive coach leading to an innocent iPad being spiked on the sidelines.
The postgame wasn’t much better.

The unexpected collapse spurned Jones to walk out of the media obligation, and it’s apparently not the first time there’s been an issue in the room.
In October, that same ceiling opened up causing water to run from one of the tiles. It might be time for a few updates.
The presser was a fitting ending to an irritating night for Kansas City, who now hold just a one-game lead over the Broncos in the AFC West.
