Butker's field goal came from 32 yards out late in the fourth quarter to push Kansas City's lead to 31-17. The 28-year-old remains perfect on the season, going 20-for-20 on FGAs and 28-for-28 on PATs. Next up for Butker and the Chiefs is a Week 13 visit to Green Bay.
Butker connected from 43 yards out at the end of the first half to help the Chiefs extend their lead to 17-7, but other than the opening kickoff of the second half, the Georgia Tech product wasn't called upon again. He is now 19-for-19 on FGAs and 24 -for-24 on PATs on the season. Other than Randy Bullock, who has only appeared in three games, no other kicker has converted on all their opportunities this season besides Butker.
For the first time this season, Kansas City was held without a field-goal attempt in Week 9. Butker did all that was asked of him though, and he still hasn't missed a kick in 2023. Following a Week 10 bye, the Chiefs will square off at Philadelphia in Week 11.
He did not record an extra-point try in Week 8, the first time that's happened since 2021. Butker still salvaged a respectable fantasy day though, and he cashed in on a 56-yarder at the end of the first half to reward managers whose leagues put a premium on longer attempts. The Chiefs will take on a middling Dolphins defense in Frankfurt in Week 9.
Butker appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's game at Denver after he sat out of practice Thursday due to an illness. Kansas City will issue its final Week 8 injury report later Friday, when it will be known whether Butker enters the weekend with a designation.
While Butker will miss Thursday's session, special teams coordinator Dave Toub expects the kicker to be available Sunday against the Broncos. Friday's injury report will clarify whether Butker approaches the contest with a designation or cleared for Week 8 action.
As is often the case, Kansas City's offense was not to be denied for most of the day Sunday, leaving just one field goal for Butker. He still hasn't missed a kick this season, and he's tied to one of the league's top offenses. He's an elite fantasy option headed into a Week 8 matchup at Denver.
