Cincinnati Bengals punter Kevin Huber hasn’t forgotten about the hit he took last season from then-rookie linebacker Terence Garvin that broke his jaw and ended his season. In addition, Huber also lost his great sense of humor about the hit as well.
Huber took to Twitter Thursday to joke about upgrading his facemask before the game this Sunday against the Steelers.
It's steelers week! Time to upgrade my face mask to keep my face in one piece!! #brokenjawproblems pic.twitter.com/faQi2n2dSb

“I was just trying to make some fun out of the situation, get a few laughs out of it” said Huber.
The Steelers went on to win that Week 15 Sunday night game 30-20 over the Bengals as wide receiver Antonio Brown caught one touchdown pass and scored another on the punt return that Huber was injured.
That win kept the Steelers playoff chances alive and they’ll need a repeat of that performance Sunday afternoon at Paul Brown Stadium if they want to stay alive in the AFC North.
I bet Huber will make sure that he knows where Garvin is at on the field at all times Sunday.
