The Kansas City Chiefs’ defense wasted no time making an early impact in their Super Bowl LVIII rematch against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.
After a failed fake punt attempt on the Chiefs’ first drive gave San Francisco favorable field position, Kansas City’s defense was quick to respond with a big play.
When 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy rolled out of the pocket against the Chiefs’ defensive line, veteran safety Justin Reid knew exactly where the ball was headed, and was able to jump into the throwing lane to intercept a pass.
Take a look at Reid’s impressive interception in this video, which was posted by the Chiefs’ official Twitter account:

Kansas City was unable to score on the ensuing drive, and the Chiefs would enter the second quarter down by three points.
Look for Reid and Kansas City’s other veteran defenders to stay active against San Francisco as the Chiefs look to keep their undefeated record intact heading into Week 8.
