Chiefs K Butker responds to boos heard after missed kick in Week 9

Veteran kicker Harrison Butker has struggled to find his rhythm during the 2026 NFL regular season, and Kansas City Chiefs fans appear to have reached their limit with the three-time Super Bowl champion.

After Butker missed back-to-back field goal attempts in the second quarter of Kansas City's Week 9 win over the New York Jets, a noticeable chorus of boos was heard from the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.

While both of Butker's misses were from a distance of more than 50 yards, his latest debacle put him atop the NFL's leaderboard in missed field goals this season and may be the final straw in deciding his fate moving forward.

Take a look at this video of Butker's response to the boos sent his way by fans on Sunday, which was posted to Twitter by the official account of Sports Radio 810 WHB:

"I'm booing myself sometimes," Butker can be heard saying near the end of the clip. "It's just... people are passionate, the fans are passionate. They want to win games. They want me to make kicks. I want to make kicks. It's part of it. That's what you sign up for, and I've got to be better."

The Chiefs signed Butker's tentative replacement — former Baltimore Ravens boot Justin Tucker — but head coach Andy Reid told the media that he is "not making any decisions" about the kicker position in the immediate aftermath of Kansas City's victory over the Jets.
