The Kansas City Chiefs will rely on their outstanding secondary to keep the Baltimore Ravens at bay in Week 1, and veteran safety Justin Reid figures to be a key part of their strategy.
Earlier this year, Reid put together a spectacular performance against the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, which bodes well for his chances to make an outsized impact on Thursday night.
Nick Jacobs, an Emmy-winning sports producer at KSHB 41 News in Kansas City, broke down Reid’s previous outing against Baltimore on Twitter this week, highlighting his best moments from the game that sent the Chiefs to Super Bowl LVIII.
Check out the top clips that Jacobs posted below:

2nd half now. The way Justin Reid shoots up into the alley and wrecks this run. Dude was on fire this game. #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/dlzU34JCGH

Another blitz. Justin Reid will get the sack. Part of what I love about it is the timing. Bolton takes on the chip but it actually helps him close at the same time as Reid and force Lamar to eat the sack. #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/Q5vd8oMHCI

Though Reid wasn’t in Kansas City’s lineup during the preseason, his experience against Lamar Jackson should prove to be a great benefit for the Chiefs, who will have their hands full at Arrowhead Stadium to kick off their regular season.
