The team\u2019s latest victory over the Houston Texans was primarily due to its defense and the efficiency of veteran kicker Harrison Butker.<\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Butker started the divisional round game with a 32-yard field goal in <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">the first quarter, marking his 33rd career postseason field goal. This broke a tie with Gary Anderson <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">for sole possession of the fourth-most field goals in NFL postseason history. He added field goals from 36 and 27 yards<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"> and now owns 35 career postseason field goals, which have shown little issue since his knee injury in midseason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s (Harrison Butker) working through that (injury recovery), and he\u2019ll be fine. He\u2019s a hard worker, that\u2019s what he does, and he\u2019s a perfectionist on everything,\u201d said head coach Andy Reid before the divisional game about Butker\u2019s comeback from knee surgery. \u201cHe\u2019ll just keep cranking, and I think he\u2019s getting better every day as he goes through this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"> With 11 points in last Saturday\u2019s victory, Butker <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">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 <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">needs seven points to pass David Akers for third place on the list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City #Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker reaches milestone after divisional round performance | @EdEastonJr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11461,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[656,39,88,761,168,762,207,658,763,108,314],"class_list":["post-11459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-afc-divisional-round","tag-andy-reid","tag-chiefs","tag-david-akers","tag-field-goal","tag-gary-anderson","tag-harrison-butker","tag-kicker","tag-mason-crosby","tag-news","tag-nfl-playoffs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
