Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub spoke with reporters before practice on Tuesday. He recapped kicker Harrison Butker's performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Saturday.
"(Harrison) Butker, highest of highs, lowest of lows, really, in the same game. Really encouraged about the kick he made, I mean that first 58-yarder and the other one, too, but the 69 yarder–to know that we can do that, in that situation with three seconds left in a half or a game, a possible game winner." said Toub, "You have to sit there and weigh the odds as a Hail Mary, or is it that? Which gives you the best chance to get points, you (can) possibly win a game with that, I mean that's pretty encouraging."
Butker converted on three field goals, one of which was a long of 69 yards, marking the longest preseason field goal in franchise history.
"He had a little bit of a different step on that," said Toub. "If you notice, he has a little hop step into it to get his momentum going on a kick that long. He hit that thing great. It was very impressive."
Butker missed a PAT and field goal attempt in the second half, slightly souring his record-breaking night.
