Chiefs Sticking with Struggling Harrison Butker as Kicker This Week
- Head coach Andy Reid announced Wednesday that Harrison Butker will remain the Kansas City Chiefs' starting kicker for Sunday's road game against the Atlanta Falcons.
- Butker, a 10-year veteran, has missed seven field goals this season, holding a 63.2% success rate that ranks near the bottom of the league among qualifying kickers.
- During Sunday's 35-12 victory over the New York Jets, Butker missed a 56-yard attempt and then a 51-yarder following a penalty, marking his seventh unsuccessful field-goal attempt of 2026.

- Reid emphasized that Butker's track record as a three-time Super Bowl champion warrants patience; the coach said he will evaluate the situation week by week going forward.
