Harrison Butker on multiple missed kicks in Chiefs’ loss to Seahawks

Do you feel like you were comfortable in your warm up and felt good about your routine? Warm up wasn't great and just something you got to roll with and try to fix in the game and do your best that you can. What do you think might have went wrong on both kicks? The 58 yarder, just short, otherwise it was middle. Obviously you want to make it a little short and then the 40 yarder then, you just got to make it, just pushed it. You're such a process guy, is there anything that immediately comes to mind of maybe what's been going on in some of these missed kicks lately? No, I try to take one kick at a time, I'm blessed every opportunity I get and try to do my best and it's kind of the life of a kicker either goes in or it doesn't and unfortunately there's been some kicks that haven't gone in. Harrison, I know you mentioned that you don't wanna go down on your knee. Is that still a consideration? I mean, I know you're trying to do that for obviously prevention, right? Is there some thought about maybe returning to that technique? No, it's kind of natural not to go down on the knee. Now looking on the surface, I don't know if those kicks I was falling down or not from some of the screenshots, maybe I was, but I don't really think about it. You ran to the locker room, I think it was in the second half. Yeah. Was everything okay? No, yeah, I was just using the restroom. Okay, I wasn't sure of an injury or anything. I didn't drink a lot of water. Just Dave, Dave came by and just said bounce back. I guess, what does it mean to just have your coordinator behind you? Yeah, I appreciate it. He definitely supports me, my 10th season here. I'm very thankful to have been with him for such a long time. He's my biggest supporter and pushes me to be my best. So every kick matters, every day of practice, every game, I gotta be better. Does anything change for you this week when practice gets going for you? No, I try to make every kick a game kick and we'll see what Coach Toa wants to do. But I'll say, you know, you just gotta make your kicks. Is it, are you somewhat concerned or I guess surprised maybe that your power hasn't translated to better distance on some of those longer kicks? I think I'm at my best when I'm smooth and not over swinging in that. Going into that game, our range was the 37 yard line. So was that 58, 55, 55 yard field goal. And for the 58, I didn't wanna change anything, just wanted to keep it smooth. Unfortunately, it was a little short, but I don't think power's been an issue. If anything, I think what I miss is cuz I'm swinging too hard. Cuz I know you made the 69er in the preseason, but there's nothing physical going on. No, no, no, not at all. Temperature matters, so it's 51 degrees, it's not gonna fly like it does in Tampa. Right. Obviously, you gotta make the kick, and I have power to make it, so yeah. Just wanted to make sure. Yeah.
