KANSAS CITY, Mo. — You might shrug off Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s exasperating lapses as a hiccup or a phase. Much like what universally happens with hitters in baseball, coach Andy Reid suggests.
“You get into a little bit of a funk, and that ball looks small,” Reid said Tuesday as the Chiefs (11-3) prepared to play host to the Seattle Seahawks (7-7) on Saturday at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. “And all of a sudden, you work through that. And it looks big again. And you start hitting it better.”
Or maybe it could be understood that Butker is still off-kilter from the ankle injury that forced him to miss four full games.
