It’s been a tough season for Butker, who for several years was among the most reliable legs in the league, but has seen a steep decline in his accuracy this season.

The Chiefs made headlines, not many of them positive, last week when they signed kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad, and it remains to be seen if he will get a call up to the main team in the wake of Butker’s continued struggles.

There’s simply no reason for Chiefs

Meanwhile, the Chiefs had another scary moment toward the end of the first half when quarterback Patrick Mahomes went down with an apparent arm injury after getting blasted by David Bailey and fumbling the ball. However, thankfully, the play appeared to be just a stinger and Mahomes was able to return for the next series.

In any case, the Chiefs will next hit the field next Sunday for a road game vs the Atlanta Falcons.
