Andy Reid's game plan vs. Julio Jones is hoping 'he misses the bus'

James Lang / USA TODAY Sports

While the Kansas City Chiefs have All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters at their disposal, head coach Andy Reid is hoping for a more surefire defense for Julio Jones.

With the Chiefs travelling to Atlanta to take on the Falcons this Sunday, Reid would rather just not have to face Jones, who is leading the league in receiving yards this season.

"You hope he misses the bus," said Reid on Wednesday. "He's a good player. He's going to make some plays. He's a great player, but you have to try to minimize him."

Jones has 1,140 yards and five touchdowns this year and has no record of missing any team buses in his career.
