“The confidence is high on the defensive side of the ball,” Reid said. “I feel like we’ve been playing solid so far. We haven’t had a test against a starting quarterback yet, so this will be exciting for us to actually do that.”
Reid also said that having their fans over for their first home tie of 2021 will only give him and his side the added boost they need to succeed.
