Harrison Butker won’t allow missed Wild Card kick to haunt him

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had one of the most historic rookie seasons in NFL history in 2017.

In addition to setting nine franchise records, Butker’s 38 field goals were the most in league history for a rookie, and because he came to the Chiefs in the middle of the season, he had three less games to accomplish those feats.

All seemed right heading into the Chiefs’ Wild Card game against the Tennessee Titans, until disaster struck.

After making 38 of 42 kicks in the regular season, Butker missed his lone playoff attempt, a 48-yarder in the third quarter, with the Chiefs leading 21-10.
