Re-watched the kick; the adjustment Butker had to make, or adjustments, make the kick even more incredible. He hit that thing with his instep; increases your accuracy but you lose a lot of power vs. hitting the ball with the top of your foot. The low exit angle (probably quite a bit lower than he actually wanted) had to be Butker adjusting his impact point to compensate for the loss of power. The ball went right between the hands of two SF defenders. A few inches left or right and that would've been blocked. Just an amazing kick.
