Chiefs’ kicker Harrison Butker admitted to “booing himself” amid fan frustration during the team's 35-12 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday. The veteran kicker missed two field goals in the first half, with the boos echoing from the home crowd at Arrowhead Stadium. Butker acknowledged the fans' passion and frustration, stating, "People are passionate.
The fans are passionate. They want to win games. They want me to make kicks. I want to make kicks. It’s part of it. That’s what you sign up for, and I’ve got to be better." The two missed kicks, from 56 and 51 yards, left Kansas City trailing by 14-12 at halftime. With two successful field goals in the second half, the Chiefs ultimately secured a win, improving their record to 6-2.
However, Coach Andy Reid has not yet decided on Butker's future after the game. Despite the struggles, Butker remains confident, saying, "I feel confident. I’m excited for the kicks, and I just have to do better." The Chiefs will need to address Butker's issues before their next game against the Atlanta Falcons.
