NFL Legend Harrison Butker Kicks 69-Yard Preseason Field Goal

The left-leaning media hate having to cover anything positive about Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.

His crime?

Daring to uphold and express the very Catholic teachings that should resonate through the halls of Benedictine College 2024 during a commencement ceremony speech.

Butker delivered a powerful message on the dignity of life, masculinity, and the most important role of all: motherhood.

During his speech, Butker criticized the moral decay under the Biden regime, highlighting the contradiction between Biden’s open Catholic faith and his support for abortion rights. He labeled this a “delusional” act, arguing it deceives the public about being both a Catholic and pro-abortion.

The left called for Butker to apologize or lose his job after he professed his faith at a Catholic university’s commencement.

The Chiefs, however,  renewed Butker’s contract, making him, at the time, the highest-paid kicker in the league.

Despite the backlash, Butker has continued to defend the speech and reiterated his commitment to his Catholic faith.

During a speech at the “Courage Under Fire Gala” hosted by Regina Caeli Academy, Butker said, “If it wasn’t clear that the timeless Catholic values are hated by many, it is now.”

Butker’s preseason performance has put him back in the spotlight.

On Saturday, during a Chiefs preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Butker kicked a 69-yard field goal.

Because it was a preseason game, the kick does not count as an official NFL record.

The current regular-season record remains 68 yards set by Jacksonville’s Cam Little in 2025. Little also holds the longest known preseason field goal at 70 yards, which he kicked on August 9, 2025, against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Butker’s official career long is 62 yards.

Our Catholic faith has always been counter-cultural… The world around us says we should keep our beliefs to ourselves whenever they go against the tyranny of diversity, equality and inclusion – pic.twitter.com/5azbgPrhUN
