Harrison Butker

36 made FGs in the playoffs — nearly a full regular-season's worth, spread across 7 postseason runs.

Butker has been part of seven straight Kansas City postseason runs, and his accumulated playoff resume is 36-of-39 (92.3%). The 2023 ring-year alone produced 11 made playoff FGs without a single miss — the kind of clean line that single-handedly turns one-score games into wins. Three Super Bowl rings (LIV, LVII, LVIII) sit on top of that ledger.

9 seasons in KC — 251 regular-season FGM, 9th-most among kickers since 2017.

Butker's rookie season set a Chiefs record with 38 FGM, a bar he didn't clear again until 2025's 33. The dip years (2022: 18 FGM, 2024: 21 FGM) line up with KC offenses that finished drives in the end zone more often — fewer chips, fewer attempts.

251 career regular-season FGM puts him just behind Tucker (252) and Boswell (250) among kickers active in this window.

Inside 40 he's at 96.3%. From 50+ he's a sub-65% kicker.

The Butker profile is automatic underneath, average from distance. Inside 40 yards he's 156-of-162 — nearly perfect across nine seasons. But the 50-54 bucket sits at just 64.9% (24-of-37), well below the modern league average from that range (~75%).

Reid has historically trusted Butker on 60+ tries only when the math forces it — only 3 attempts from 60+ across his career, but he's hit 2 of them.

His career-long is a 62-yarder — the longest made FG in Chiefs franchise history.

In 2022 (Week 16 vs Seattle), Butker hit a 62-yard FG — the longest made field goal in Chiefs franchise history. It came in a 2022 season where his volume was at a career low (18 FGM), making the franchise-record kick the lasting headline of that year.

His 9-season span of 56+ yard makes (4 in his career: 56, 58, 60, 62) puts him in rare territory: most kickers go their entire career without hitting from 60. Butker has 2.

88.1% career FG% — nearly identical to Tucker's, with one extra ring on the resume.

Butker (88.1% career FG%, 251-of-285) sits 3rd in FGM among all kickers since 2017 — a top-5 cluster separated by just 10 makes. Tucker leads in raw accuracy among that group, but Butker has played fewer regular-season games (KC reaches the playoffs every year) and still kept the FGM count nearly identical to Tucker's.

The tiebreaker is hardware: 3 Super Bowl rings vs. 1 for Tucker. The volume case for Butker as the playoff-era's most clutch kicker rests on those 7 postseason runs producing 36-of-39 in the games that mattered most.

In KC's three SB-winning seasons (LIV, LVII, LVIII) he was 17-of-19 in the playoffs combined.

In the three Chiefs postseasons that ended with a Lombardi, Butker was 19-of-20 (95.0%) in the playoffs. The 2023 run was the perfect line — 11-of-11, including all 3 in the Super Bowl LVIII overtime win.

That's the part of his game that doesn't fit the league-average distance curve: when the pressure peaks, his accuracy goes the other way. Three rings as the only kicker on the roster across the run.
