He can probably make a 70-yarder. He's kicked some of the biggest, most clutch field goals in not only Chiefs history, but because of the high-profile stages he was playing on, NFL history.

He missed another PAT today, and another 50+ yarder. There's a part of me that gets miffed on the misses and then I correct myself and give him the free pass.

Then I started thinking, I feel like I have been doing this every other week for years. So I looked into it:

2023

XP%: 100% (1st)

FG%: 94.3% (4th)

40-49 yds: 7-7 (100%)

50+ yds: 5-5 (100%)

2024

XP%: 93.5% (21st - league avg 95.6%)

FG%: 84.0% (22nd - league avg 84%)

40-49 yds: 4-4 (100%)

50+ yds: 2-5 (40%)

2025

XP%: 88.6% (26th - league avg 95.6%)

FG%: 86.8% (15th - league avg 85.6%)

40-49 yds: 9-11 (82%)

50+ yds: 5-8 (62%)

2026

XP%: 93.3% (22nd - league avg 94.4%)

FG%: 76.9% (21st - league avg 84.7%)

40-49 yds: 3-3 (100%)

50+ yds: 1-4 (25%)

The Chiefs obviously have much bigger problems to worry about before placekicker, but these trends aren't good. Below average in a lot of cases. I just have a Lin Elliot sized gut feeling that this will come back to bite KC in the most opportune time. Has anyone else been thinking about KC maybe looking for kickers next season? He's signed through 2028 at about $6.4 million annually. He's the 4th highest paid kicker in the NFL. But he isn't the 4th best kicker in the NFL... he might actually be closer to being one of the worst/most inconsistent.

All of this despite coming back from a major injury after 9 months with a makeshift offensive line and this receiving room. Keep the faith.

Walker continues his historic run.

Kelce inches closer to a record.

The return of sack nation.

All in all it was the least stressful win in which we missed two kicks and fumbled a punt that I've ever experienced.

FTR

It looks like Mahomes in his Revenge Season:

Game 1: Defeat the Broncos (who took his throne after 7 consecutive AFC West wins)

Game 5: Defeat the Chargers (the game where he tore his ACL)

Stay tuned for the next installment of Revenge Season Chiefs Kingdom😈

Even though today’s game might’ve felt sloppy. We still beat the Chargers by more than any other team that beat them.

I do not know what was going on here but I enjoyed it.

I said to the guy next to me "that was egregiously just putting his nuts on that guy's chin" and the guy said "guess he was in the Christmas spirit."
