Harrison Butker Mercilessly Booed For Missing The Exact Same Field Goal Twice In A Row As Justin Tucker Looms

Harrison Butker is, statistically speaking, the second-worst kicker in the NFL this season. He was mercilessly booed by Kansas City Chiefs fans during the game against the New York Jets on Sunday.

The 31-year-old missed the exact same field goal twice in a row.

As you could imagine, the NFL fanbase in Missouri is starting to get fed up with Butker. It might be time to make a change!

The Kansas City Chiefs signed Justin Tucker as the backup kicker.

Justin Tucker, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest place kickers of all-time, previously held the National Football League record for longest field goal at 66 yards and currently ranks second all-time in field goal percentage at ~89.1%. He is a seven-time Pro Bowler, five-time First Team All-Pro, three-time Second Team All-Pro and a Super Bowl champion.

The former Baltimore Ravens kicker was also accused of inappropriate behavior by more than 15 massage therapists in early 2025. Although Tucker vehemently denies the allegations, he was released by his employer in May of 2025 and has not kicked since.

Well, until last week, that is.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed Justin Tucker at the end of October. Their decision was met with outrage by a large portion of NFL fans, which head coach Andy Reid politely moved past during his first press conference after the controversial signing.

And then they decided to stick with the guy they already had.

Reid confirmed on Wednesday that Harrison Butker would serve as the starting kicker against the New York Jets. That will continue to be the case until the organization decides it has no other choice but to make a change at the position.

Harrison Butker missed, again.

Entering the weekend, Harrison Butker had made only 12 of his 18 field goal attempts. Even more concerning, he made only two of his seven attempts from 50 yards or longer. The Chiefs stuck with him on Sunday. That may not be the case moving forward.

Butker lined up to kick a 56-yard field goal with only a few seconds remaining on the clock during the first half against the Jets. He missed wide to the right but New York was offsides so he got to tee it up from the same spot, just five yards closer.

That extra distance boost ultimately did not matter.

Butker lined up from 51 yards on the very next play and missed wide to the right, again. The stadium let him hear it as he left the field at halftime. Some of them threw beers at the field. Most of them booed in his direction.
