BREAKING NEWS : Chiefs K Harrison Butker reaches milestone after divisional round performance

The Kansas City Chiefs will play the Buffalo Bills in their seventh consecutive AFC Championship game this Sunday. The team’s latest victory over the Houston Texans was primarily due to its defense and the efficiency of veteran kicker Harrison Butker.

Butker started the divisional round game with a 32-yard field goal in the first quarter, marking his 33rd career postseason field goal. This broke a tie with Gary Anderson for sole possession of the fourth-most field goals in NFL postseason history. He added field goals from 36 and 27 yards and now owns 35 career postseason field goals, which have shown little issue since his knee injury in midseason.

“He’s (Harrison Butker) working through that (injury recovery), and he’ll be fine. He’s a hard worker, that’s what he does, and he’s a perfectionist on everything,” said head coach Andy Reid before the divisional game about Butker’s comeback from knee surgery. “He’ll just keep cranking, and I think he’s getting better every day as he goes through this.”

With 11 points in last Saturday’s victory, Butker has 169 career postseason points, moving past Mason Crosby for the fourth-most postseason points in NFL history. He also extended his franchise record and needs seven points to pass David Akers for third place on the list.
