Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke to reporters following a preseason game on August 22, where kicker Harrison Butker made a historic 69-yard field goal. This kick marked the longest in franchise history for a preseason game. Despite a missed extra point and another field goal in the second half, Reid expressed trust in Butker, noting his overall strong performance. Butker had previously demonstrated accuracy during the 2025 season, successfully converting 31 of 35 extra-point attempts and 33 of 38 field goals.
