In talking about Sunday’s game against the Bengals, Chiefs safety Justin Reid promised to lock someone down in coverage, although Reid couldn’t remember the name of the opponent he was talking trash about.
“They have 88 Higbee -- no, not Higbee, he’s with the Rams -- what’s his name? It’s Higgins, yeah they’re gonna have him back, he’s a very talented receiver, more of a finesse type of guy, not the best blocker, I’m gonna lock him down,” Reid told Fox 4 in Kansas City.
Although Reid said “Higgins,” he appeared to be talking about No. 88, tight end Hayden Hurst, and not wide receiver Tee Higgins (and definitely not Rams tight end Tyler Higbee).
Asked about those comments, Hurst didn’t take kindly to them.
“Whoever he thought he was talking about, I don’t really care,” Hurst said. “You can pick anybody in this locker room, but I feel like I’m the last person you want to talk shit about because I have a long memory.”
There are plenty of bigger names than Reid and Hurst in the Chiefs-Bengals game, but the two of them have ensured that fans will be keeping an eye on their individual matchup on Sunday.
