Chiefs Safety Justin Reid on Tee Higgins: 'I'm Gonna Lock Him Down'

Cincinnati host Kansas City on Sunday at Paycor Stadium.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals are hoping to beat the Chiefs on Sunday to improve to 8-4 on the season and keep pace in the AFC playoff race. 

Cincinnati beat Kansas City twice last season, including in the AFC Championship Game. The Bengals' win was a big reason why the Chiefs re-tooled their defense this offseason. They added multiple young players to their secondary in the draft and also signed safety Justin Reid. 

The veteran made a bold prediction about Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins on Wednesday. 

"I'm gonna lock him down," Reid told reporters. "He's a very talented receiver too. More of a finesse type of guy, not the best blocker."

Higgins has 16 receptions for 262 yards and one touchdown over the past two games. Throw in the fact that Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Mixon are expected to play this week and it's easy to see why the Bengals' offense could put up big numbers on Sunday against the Chiefs, even if Reid is confident going into the matchup.

His words show just how motivated the team is about beating the #Bengals.
