KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – The misfires continue to pile up for Harrison Butker, whose latest miss had fans at Arrowhead booing the Chiefs’ veteran kicker Sunday.
Butker lined up from 56 yards with seven seconds left in the first half against the Jets — only to miss.
Fortunately for the Chiefs, Malik McClain was called for defensive offsides for the Jets, and Butker got a redo five yards closer.
He missed again.
Fans audibly booed as No. 7 ran up to the locker room for halftime.
It’s Butker’s seventh missed field goal of the season. His 63.2% conversion rate ranks among the worst for the league’s active kickers.
Andy Reid gave a blunt response when asked what he needed to see form Butker, “I need to see it go in.”
The Chiefs signed former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad on Oct. 28 after a series of Butker misses.
Still, the Chiefs stuck by Butker — even after another miss the following Sunday in Denver.
“Butker’s our kicker, Butker’s on our team, and we’re paying Butker,” Chiefs assistant head coach and special teams coordinator, Dave Toub, said Thursday. “Butker has won a lot of football games for us. Butker is a champion, and he deserves the right to be exhausted on this thing. We’re going to exhaust every possibility with him.”
