Fans were in disbelief after Raiders CB Jack Jones appeared to pull a football away from a young Chiefs fan

Jack Jones Chiefs Raiders Grinch Football NFL

The Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders have one of the fiercer rivalries in the NFL, and Jack Jones might have secured himself a spot in the rivalry’s storied history on Monday.

It’s possible that he went into full Grinch mode.

During the first half of the Christmas Day matchup in Kansas City, Jones jumped the route on a pass from Patrick Mahomes and ran back the interception for a touchdown. It was Jones’ second straight game with a pick-six, and to plenty of fans watching, it looked like Jones snubbed a young fan in the process.

After the touchdown, Jones started to hand the football to a young Chiefs fan seated in the first row and abruptly pulled it back. Though it appeared that some adult fans were reaching for the football and could have contributed to the pull-back, it’s entirely possible that Jones just wanted to teach the kid a lesson about rivalries on Christmas Day. The broadcast didn’t show if the kid ended up with the football or not.

Still, what we did see was enough to have NFL fans shocked. Raiders fans, though, loved the apparent antics from the cornerback.

This was how Twitter reacted
