Andy Reid opened his postgame press conference with an unprompted statement on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs beat the New York Jets 35-12 at Arrowhead Stadium. Patrick Mahomes left the field in pain after a hit from Jets defenders but later returned.

Speaking after the win, Reid got the Butker issue out of the way before reporters asked him anything. 

“I’m sure I’ll be asked about Butker. I’ll address that as we go throughout the week. I’ll look at everything, and no need to ask. That’ll be the answer that you get. I’m not making any decisions right now today.”

Butker Missed Twice Before Halftime As Justin Tucker Waits In The Wings

Butker had an excruciatingly rough first half. He missed a 56-yard attempt with seven seconds left in the first half. A Jets offside penalty gave him a re-kick from about 51 yards, yet he missed again.

Fans booed as he ran to the locker room. 

The Chiefs do have another interesting option in Justin Tucker. 

The Chiefs signed Tucker to their practice squad last month, after Butker missed two field goals against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. He missed another in a 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos last week.

Kansas City improved to 6-2 with the win. They visit the Atlanta Falcons next.
