Harrison Butker buries 51-yard field goal to lift Chiefs over Bengals in wild game

Tony Dungy discusses the backlash Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker received for his faith-based speech on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich."

The Chiefs got a little help on the final drive of the game. The Bengals had the Chiefs on 4th-and-16 when Patrick Mahomes scrambled and found Rashee Rice in a minimal amount of space to try to make a catch and extend the drive. Instead, Bengals defensive back Daijahn Anthony bumped into Rice early, forcing a pass interference penalty call.

It gave Kansas City an extra set of downs and put Butker in range to hit the field goal.

Mahomes didn’t exactly have his best game. He was 18-of-25 for 151 passing yards, two touchdown passes, and he threw two interceptions, including one to Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt who made an incredible play to record the turnover.
