Harrison Butker scores game-winning field goal for the Chiefs and defeats the Bengals in a crazy game

Don’t look now, but former Georgia Tech kicker Harrison Butker has kicked another game-winning field goal for the best team in the NFL. The Chiefs and Bengals played another crazy game, and the second half saw several lead changes. After a pass interference penalty gave the Chiefs new opportunities, they set up the game-winning kick for Butker, and he sank it. It was a 51-yard field goal for the former Yellow Jacket, and there was never any doubt it would go in. The Chiefs are now 2-0 this season, and the Bengals have fallen to 0-2.

Butker’s 57-yard field goal in the third quarter of last year’s Super Bowl was the longest in Super Bowl history (breaking the previous record of 55 set earlier in the game by San Francisco’s Jake Moody), and his 29-yard field goal with three seconds left sent the game into overtime with a 19-19 tie.

With four field goals in last year’s Super Bowl, Butker has made a total of nine field goals in four Super Bowl appearances (LIV, LV, LVII and LVIII), which is the most ever and breaks the previous record of seven shared by Stephen Gostkowski (six Super Bowl appearances with the New England Patriots) and Adam Vinatieri (five Super Bowls with New England and the Indianapolis Colts). With 13 points against the 49ers, Butker has now scored a total of 37 points in his four Super Bowls, which is the most Super Bowl points ever for a kicker and the second most overall, behind only legendary 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice (48 points).

Here are the Super Bowl records Butker now holds:

Longest field goal – 57 yards (Super Bowl LVIII)

Most field goals in a game (simultaneous) – 4 (LVIII)

Most field goals in a career – 9 (4 games)

Most kicking points in a career – 37 (4 games)

In just his seventh NFL season, Butker also became the first Georgia Tech graduate to win three Super Bowls, surpassing Tech graduates and two-time Super Bowl winners Bill Curry (I – Green Bay Packers, V – Baltimore Colts) and Shaq Mason (LI and LIII – New England).

Butker played at Georgia Tech from 2013 to 2016 and is the Yellow Jackets’ all-time leading scorer with 337 career points.
