Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s struggles continued on Sunday, and fans are losing patience with him.

Butker’s struggles continued against the New York Jets during Sunday’s game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. The Chiefs sent him out to attempt a 56-yard field goal as time expired in the first half, which he missed, but he received a second chance thanks to an offsides penalty.

Butker then missed his second chance in almost identical fashion, and was loudly booed by Kansas City fans.

While Butker is one of the NFL’s most accomplished kickers, his struggles are beginning to pose a real problem for the Chiefs. This marked his seventh missed field goal of the season on just 19 attempts, and that is already the most field goals he has missed in any single season of his NFL career. His teammates have consistently had his back amid his struggles, but the situation just is not improving as the season goes on.

The Chiefs do have another kicker waiting in the wings. It remains to be seen whether Butker’s latest miss will actually push the team toward making a change.
