Andy Reid says Harrison Butker is 'off a bit' after two missed field goals against Seahawks
Andy Reid said Harrison Butker is off a bit after the kicker missed two field goals and the Chiefs lost 20-3.
- The Kansas City Chiefs fell 20-3 to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, suffering their first loss of the season. Kicker Harrison Butker missed two field goals during the game.
- Since the start of last season, Butker has missed 15 kicks—10 field goals and five PATs—marking the most in the NFL. Reid maintains that Butker remains one of the league's most consistent kickers despite the recent struggles.
- Misses from 58 and 45 yards hampered Kansas City, with the 58-yarder coming before halftime and the 45-yard attempt late in the game. The offense managed only 213 total yards and went 3 for 11 on third down.
- Butker is the third-highest paid kicker in the league, carrying the sixth-highest base salary on the team. The Chiefs could exit his contract after this season with manageable dead money, intensifying pressure to fix consistency issues.
- The Chiefs visit the Denver Broncos next, who have won three straight games including a 17-14 victory over the Seahawks. Kansas City routed Denver 31-10 in their season opener, but the Broncos enter as a tougher opponent this time.
