Andy Reid will 'stick with Butker' after Chiefs kicker's latest miss
Chiefs HC Andy Reid told reporters he intends to 'stick with Butker' heading into Kansas City's Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
Harrison Butker is set to continue as the Kansas City Chiefs' kicker for their upcoming Week 10 game against the Atlanta Falcons, according to head coach Andy Reid's announcement. Reid explained that he will maintain Butker's position for now, stating, "I'm going to stick with Butker. We'll go from there." Since the beginning of the season, Butker has struggled, missing seven 3-point field goals and one extra point, ranking him at the top of the NFL's list for such mistakes.
In the team's previous match against the New York Jets, Butker failed with his only three-point attempt but successfully converted all five of his field goal attempts. The Chiefs acquired Justin Tucker from the Baltimore Ravens on October 28 in an effort to boost Butker's performance after a challenging start to his 2026 regular season.
While the decision to continue with Butker depends on future outcomes, a further decline could prompt the Chiefs to consider alternatives as they aim for an AFC West championship in the latter part of the season.
