I still can’t get over Butker’s rise. When the Chiefs lost Cairo Santos early in the season, I was sure the Chiefs were going to get a bad kicker to replace him and that would sink their season. Instead, Butker’s had an incredible season and has been better than anyone thought. He was the Chiefs’ top ranked kicker coming out of college and pounced when they had the shot.
I’m feeling confident with Butker back there.
