Andy Reid Comments on Harrison Butker After Two Missed Kicks vs Jets

Harrison Butker's season took a turn for the worse on Sunday during the Chiefs' game against the New York Jets. The Chiefs emerged victorious with a 35-12 score, improving their record to 6-2, but Butker's performance left much to be desired. He missed two field goals during the match, although one was later redone due to a defensive offside penalty by the Jets.

The first miss came from 56 yards out, followed by a second failure from 51 yards after a replay. This led to a raucous crowd at Arrowhead Stadium, booing their own kicker who has struggled all season. Butker has missed seven kicks so far, six of them from 50 yards or further, making it his longest season of misses in a decade-long NFL career.

The Chiefs' coach, Andy Reid, was asked about Butker's future immediately after the game but remained tight-lipped. Reid stated that he would consider all factors and wouldn't make any decisions on the spot. Despite the criticism, Reid continued to support Butker. However, the team did sign kicker Justin Tucker, who has faced his own controversy in the past due to allegations of sexual misconduct.

If the Chiefs opt to bench Butker, Tucker might have to take his place. Tucker's record was not impressive last season either, missing eight field goals. With Butker's performance slipping, it appears Tucker's inclusion might be imminent.
