Kansas City beat the New York Jets 35-12 at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, November 8, but the scoreline flattered the mood inside the building. Butker pushed a 56-yard attempt wide right, and when a Jets offside penalty gifted him a 51-yard retry, he missed in the same direction. The Chiefs faithful booed him off at the break.

It was his seventh missed field goal of the season. He has now missed 17 kicks across the last two seasons, a league high over that stretch.

‘I haven’t made any decisions yet’

Reid did not wait to be asked about his kicker on Monday.

“With Butker, I haven’t made any decisions yet. I’m going to evaluate everything and go from there,” Reid told reporters, according to NBC Sports.

He also said he had not yet decided how to split practice reps between Butker and the veteran option already sitting on the practice squad.

That option is Justin Tucker, the former Baltimore Ravens kicker the Chiefs signed to the practice squad on October 28 after Butker had missed twice in a 20-3 loss at Seattle. Tucker carries a career 89.1% field goal conversion rate.

Butker turns the critique on himself

The kicker did not try to brush off the boos when he met reporters after the Jets game.

“I’m booing myself sometimes,” Butker told Pro Football Network. “People are passionate, the fans are passionate. They want to win games. They want me to make kicks.”

He is now 12-of-19 on field goals this season, a 63.2% rate that ranks last among the NFL’s active kickers.

Patrick Mahomes stepped in with public backing for his teammate.

“I’ve seen him make field goals at the biggest stages that you can make in this league,” the quarterback told Yahoo Sports. “I want him to know that I have as much confidence in him as I ever had.”

Atlanta next, with reps undecided

The Chiefs travel to face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Reid said he would sort out practice reps when the team gets back on the field on Wednesday.
