Butker’s long kicks spark Chiefs, but late misses doom them in preseason loss to Bucs
Chiefs fall 16-15 to the Buccaneers in preseason Week 2 as Harrison Butker nails three field goals (including a 58-yard and a 69-yard kick) but misses a late 43-yard attempt and a point after; rookies and veterans alike flash in limited action, with Felix Anudike-Uzomah and Mason Thomas providing pass-rush intrigue, rookie Kahlil Benson showing durability concerns at right tackle, and the backup QB battle between Justin Fields and Garrett Nussmeier continuing. Jalen Royals took a lead role with six catches for 51 yards, boosting his bid for a No. 4 receiver spot.
