Butker went 4/5 on field goal attempts and 3/3 on extra points. He hit both of his field goal attempts in overtime to extend the Chiefs' 2026 record to 2-0.

Butker went 1/1 on field goals and 4/4 on extra points in the Chiefs' season-opening win over the Denver Broncos last weekend. This coming weekend, Kansas City will play its first away game of the year against the Miami Dolphins.
