Harrison Butker has attempted 16 extra points but just two field goals

Most people will hone in on the fact that Patrick Mahomes has 13 touchdown passes in three games with no interceptions. It’s a ridiculous start for any quarterback to have. However, this should be a nod to the entire Kansas City Chiefs offense. So here’s a fun roundabout way to do so, and it comes via their young kicker Harrison Butker.

Across those three games, he’s attempted a league-high 16 extra points but is far more average with only two field goals. That paints a clear picture of just how efficient the Chiefs offense has been this season. They have been scoring touchdowns, not settling for field goals. It’s a testament to not just Mahomes but that entire roster of studs they have.
