Head coach Andy Reid defended kicker Harrison Butker after a 54-yard miss in the fourth quarter against the Denver Broncos. Reid justified the miss by citing protection issues, noting significant pressure from the left side of the defensive line that penetrated the pocket, forcing Butker to adjust his alignment to avoid the block. 'I understand why he went right... sometimes you have to adjust your alignment. He went a little too wide, but we need to do better protecting him,' Reid said, emphasizing that the player had to adapt his shot to avoid blocking the ball. [1]
