For the second time this season, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has been named the AFC’s special teams player of the week. He joins receivers Tyreek Hill (2016) and Tamarick Vanover (1995) as the only Chiefs rookies to win the award multiple times.
Butker made five of six field goals in the Chiefs’ AFC West-clinching 29-13 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. It marked the third time this season that Butker has made five field goals in a game.
He’s having a terrific year. With one game remaining in the regular season — Sunday at the Denver Broncos — Butker has set team records for field goals in a season (36) and consecutive field goals (23).
