The\u00a0NFL playoffs<\/a>\u00a0bring emotions out of everyone.<\/p>\n

Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0star Chris Jones started crying as gospel vocalist Lanell Lightfoot sang the national anthem before their playoff game against the Houston Texans at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.<\/p>\n

It was not the first time\u00a0Jones had<\/a>\u00a0cried during the national anthem. Prior to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers last season, Jones also became tearful during the national anthem.<\/p>\n
