00:00 Kicking was a big part of this game, Vinny,

00:02 bigger than I think most people thought it would be.

00:04 Harrison Butker ended up kicking a 57-yard field goal

00:07 in this game, longest field goal made.

00:09 Stunning to see even Jake Moody

00:11 in the confidence that Kyle Shanahan had in him.

00:14 I mean, Vinny, I'm guessing, now that I'm thinking about it,

00:18 maybe they saw warmups with these guys and said,

00:21 "Wait a second, these guys are gonna boom it tonight."

00:23 That's the only thing that I can come up with here

00:25 because, Vinny, most teams in the regular season

00:29 don't even opt to kick field goals like that.

00:31 They're like, "No way, we're going for it."

00:32 These guys were like, "Yeah, sure, let's try 55, 57."

00:35 Unheard of.

00:37 Yeah, I mean, this is a pretty good field for field goals.

00:39 I mean, Daniel Carlson has been very clutch

00:42 for the Raiders on this field, so he's been a big-time kicker.

00:46 And look, Harrison Butker, I think we forget about him.

00:48 He's the key member of this Chiefs team as well.

00:51 We're right there with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey,

00:54 and Chris Jones representing the other parts of the team, right?

00:56 So this guy's been money all the time.

00:59 He's got a big leg.

01:00 And the difference we know in the game was Jake Moody,

01:02 look, 49ers drafted him pretty early

01:05 because he has a big leg, right?

01:07 This is why he can make these longer field goals.

01:09 He's just inconsistent on the shorter kicks.

01:11 And we saw that. He missed the extra point attempt

01:13 that put everything out of whack in this game

01:16 and maybe could have spared this game going to overtime.

01:18 So, look, Moody is still a guy that they liked

01:22 because, again, Robbie Gould just didn't have that range there.

01:25 But Butker's everything.

01:27 I mean, we talk about Justin Tucker being the best modern kicker

01:30 and all that.

01:31 I don't think Butker gets enough credit here.

01:33 He's just clutch after clutch.

01:35 And he's just not the most exciting guy,

01:37 but he just goes out there like an assassin

01:39 and delivers whenever the Chiefs need him.

01:41 And, again, I think that's an underrated part.

01:43 The special teams, I mean, I don't know how good the offense

01:45 and defense are, but the special teams and the Chiefs,

01:47 just a big part of their three championships.
