KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After Harrison Butker missed the first field-goal attempt of his NFL career, Kansas City head coach Andy Reid walked over to the rookie and prepared to instill a little bit of confidence.
“He said, ‘I got it. I got it. I was just off a tad,’” Reid recalled of their brief exchange. “He kind of gives you that feeling that everything’s going to be OK.”
Better than just “OK.”
Butker responded to his first-half miss Monday night by drilling three field goals in the second half, the last a go-ahead 43-yarder with four seconds remaining that gave Kansas City the lead in an eventual 29-20 win over Washington.
