Any time the Chiefs and Bills get together for the foreseeable future, it’ll likely be a matchup of the arguable league’s two top powerhouses. And in these kinds of massive games, every tackle, every throw, and yes, every kick will be under an even bigger microscope.
That bigger spotlight has never seemed to be much of an issue to Kansas City kicker Harrison Butker.
With the Chiefs looking to knot up Sunday’s game at 10-10 at the end of the first half, they called on Butker to make a difficult 62-yarder. Mind you, no one had ever made a 62-yard field goal in Chiefs history, and there have been only 25 successful kicks of at least 60 yards since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970.
Judging by Butker’s reaction as he absolutely drilled his attempt- where he no-looked the end of it, knowing it was good — you’d think this was a routine make for the kicker:

Watching the replay, Harrison Butker really no-looked the 62-yarder. Sheesh.

You know, I’d be surprised that Butker was one to do this if he didn’t average several 50-yard makes during every season of his seven-year career. But to no-look a record 62-yarder? Man, that’s some nerves of steel for a kicker.
NFL fans couldn't believe Butker no-looked his 62-yard field goal make

Harrison Butker just Steph Curry’d a 62 yarder. Are you serious?

Look at him walking away from it…someone shooting from the other endzone has to have an incredible shot of this https://t.co/3Fcu7a4J8O
