In a preseason game, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid discussed veteran kicker Harrison Butker's remarkable 69-yard field goal. Reid described Butker's performance as exceptional, noting that it was the standout moment of the game. However, Butker acknowledged that the 69-yarder would be the moment he remembers most. He admitted that he needed to improve in that particular area.

Despite missing a PAT and another field goal attempt in the second half, Reid expressed his trust in Butker for the upcoming season. He emphasized that Butker has delivered on big moments before and would continue to do so. The Chiefs' kicker had converted 31 of 35 extra-point attempts and 33 of 38 field-goal attempts during the 2025 season.

Butker's historic field goal did not count towards official records as it occurred in the preseason.
