Chiefs' Harrison Butker Hits 69-Yard Field Goal Against Buccaneers

Butker’s 69-yard kick gave Kansas City a 9-0 halftime lead, and the preseason attempt would not count in official NFL records.

  • On Saturday, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker connected on a 69-yard field goal against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium during the first half of a preseason game.
  • Although the 69-yard attempt would have surpassed the NFL record, league rules dictate that preseason statistics remain unofficial; Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little holds the official regular-season record of 68 yards, set on Nov. 2, 2025.
  • During the 16-15 loss to the Buccaneers, Butker missed an extra point and a 43-yard field goal, though he has successfully converted all seven of his preseason field goal attempts.
  • Chiefs head coach Andy Reid defended the veteran kicker after the game, telling reporters via AtoZ Sports, "He's made enough of the big ones for us."
  • Entering his 10th season with the Chiefs, Butker aims to rebound from a 2025 campaign where he went 16-19 on field goals after struggling with consistency last year.
