has there been any talk in local press whether andy considered trying a field goal rather than going for it on 4th and 9? butker would have the leg to make a 60 yarder I would think

Further, there are two circumstances you attempt a 60+ yarder:

1) You're in Denver with a sustained 10+mph wind behind a kicker who is money from 52 yards and in and;

2) There's less than :05 seconds in the first half and you know the other team doesn't have a guy fast enough to house a miss that comes up short.

Hell YES! I was screaming for that last night. Way better chance of making the FG than making 9 yards with that offense.

Arrowhead in January is murder on kickers. I noticed Butkers kickoffs were shorter yesterday too

Yeah I could see how that would play out. OMG Butker makes an unbelievable kick. 15 seconds later, wait a minute we got a flag for illegal procedure.
