DJ Reed’s coverage on a third down in the red zone forced a field goal on the Chargers’ first drive of the game. Then he backed that up with a huge return on the ensuing kickoff.
This is the kind of splash play that helps a player on the roster bubble in the final preseason game.
If Reed is going to make his way onto the roster and onto the field, he’ll need to contribute on special teams. A 56-yard return is a nice way to show how effective he can be in that are.
