WATCH: Chiefs S Justin Reid makes extra point vs. Bears

The preseason is for practice and the Kansas City Chiefs got their emergency kicker some practice during the game.

Safety Justin Reid, who recently made headlines with his 65-yard field goal at training camp, got some work as the team’s emergency kicker ahead of the end of the first half. After a 22-yard touchdown reception from Justin Watson, it wasn’t Harrison Butker who lined up to take the PAT. Instead, it was Reid who came in and got his chance to make the extra point. Sure enough, it was perfectly executed, right down the middle of the uprights.

Reid even got some practice in ahead of the game, which should have been a sign that he’d get his chance.

Reid claimed after training camp practice on Thursday that his comfort level in an actual game would be 45 yards. He also said he’d be ready if he ever got a chance to kick a field goal in a game. Starting small with an extra point is a good call by Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub.
