The article highlights Butker's impressive track record, especially in Super Bowls, and his role in the Chiefs' success. It also discusses the importance of special teams in a close game.
One of the most anticipated games in recent memory is going down tonight in Kansas City. The Chiefs are hosting the Buffalo Bills with a spot in the Super Bowl on the line and there is no shortage of storylines for this game. Of course, the quarterback matchup between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen is going to take center stage, but there are also other important factors, including special teams .
Butker has had to deal with injuries this season, but still managed to put together a good campaign. He finished the year 21-25, including a long of 53-yards. He was also 29-31 on extra points. Butker’s 57-yard field goal in the third quarter of last year's Super Bowl was the longest in Super Bowl history , and his 29-yard field goal with three seconds remaining sent the game to overtime knotted at 19-19.
With four field goals in last year's Super Bowl, Butker has kicked a total of nine field goals in four Super Bowl appearances , which is the most all-time, breaking the previous record of seven, shared by Stephen Gostkowski and Adam Vinatieri . 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 .
In just his seventh NFL season, Butker also became the first Georgia Tech alum to ever win three Super Bowls, surpassing Tech alums and two-time Super Bowl champs Bill Curry and Shaq Mason .Georgia Tech Football: CBS Sports Picks the Yellow Jackets Biggest Game For the 2025 SeasonJackson Caudell has been covering Georgia Tech Athletics For On SI since March 2022 and the Atlanta Hawks for On SI since October 2023.
