Can the Chiefs Trust Harrison Butker Against Atlanta? Practice Has to Answer That

The writer Jeremy argues that the Kansas City Chiefs face a major kicking decision ahead of their matchup with Atlanta after Harrison Butker's latest struggles. Butker missed two long attempts in a 35–12 victory over the New York Jets, bringing his total to seven missed field goals this season. Head coach Andy Reid has not yet committed to starting Butker for the upcoming game.

With veteran Justin Tucker currently on the practice squad, the writer argues that Kansas City should stage an authentic practice competition between both kickers. Jeremy contends that the Chiefs must evaluate ball-striking, consistency, and the entire kicking operation throughout the week rather than deciding based solely on player reputation or past loyalty.
