Harrison Butker The Lone Bright Spot In Loss

Harrison Butker The Lone Bright Spot In Loss

one year ago

Kansas City Chiefs Harrison Butker (illness) overcame his illness and kept the team's lethargic offense afloat in Week 8's ugly 24-9 defeat to the division-rival Denver Broncos, drilling three field goals and accounting for all nine of the team's points. The Chiefs may have dropped their first game to Denver since 2015, but not by the hands of Butker's afternoon. The 28-year-old's effort was highlighted by booting a 56-yard try past the uprights before halftime, keeping him a perfect 18-of-18 on field goals this season. Butker's was K.C.'s leading fantasy scorer on Sunday, which should tell you all you need to know about how rough a day it was for them. The seventh-year man hopes his squad gets back on track in Week 9's International Series affair in Frankfurt against the 6-2 Miami Dolphins and their world-beating offense.
