Chiefs special teams standout doesn't see himself as a third-stringer

In his second game with the Kansas City Chiefs this season, kicker Matthew Wright went four-for-four on field goals and added one PAT for 13 total points in the 19-17 Week 14 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The consecutive impactful performances have highlighted the well-traveled kicker.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid responded to a media question on Monday that Matthew Wright does not want to be viewed as a third-string guy during his weekly Zoom press conference.

“Yeah, I think he’s (Matthew Wright) got a quiet confidence about him. I think he realizes that he’s a legitimate kicker; at least, that’s the persona he presents to everybody.” Reid said. “I think all (of) the guys on the team have confidence in him. We’re not sitting there going, ‘Hey listen, we have some guy that’s never done this before and doesn’t have a track record with us.’ He comes in, and he just goes, ‘Okay, line me up, and let’s go.”

Wright connected on a doink off the goalpost 31-yard game-winning field goal with one second left on the clock to seal Kansas City’s victory over the Chargers and claim their ninth-straight AFC West division title. He added field goals from 47 yards, 33 yards, and 50 yards in the win. His four field goals tie a single-game career-high.
