The Kansas City Chiefs secured a come-from-behind victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, but it wouldn’t have happened without some clutch moments from kicker Harrison Butker.
Butt-kicker dot com, as Andy Reid calls him, nailed the chip shot to send the game to overtime. That was just the tip of the iceberg for Butker, though. With the game on the line, the veteran kicker made a 58-yard field goal after being iced twice, once by a penalty, and a second time by a timeout. He showed that he was made of sterner stuff and wouldn’t be denied from the uprights.
After the game, Butker’s teammates took to Twitter to react to his legendary moment. First came the reactions from a pair of players who didn’t make the trip to Los Angeles.

Rankin is on the PUP list and Saunders is on injured reserve. They both knew all along that Butker was going to nail these. Then came the comments from the teammates who were on the field with him.
His name is Harrison Butker and he has ice in his veins ‼️‼️

You have to have ice in your veins to do what Butker accomplished.

The rookie cornerback L’Jarius Sneed came away impressed with his kicker after Week 2.

Mahomes put in a lot of the leg work to mount the comeback win, but he’s glad to see Butker take the glory. In the end, so long as the team wins, that’s all that matters for this group.
