Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker scored five PATs in the 35-31 win over the Raiders. Those scores were good enough to give Butker 503 career points with Kansas City. In just his fourth season with Kansas City, Butker now has the fourth-most points scored in franchise history, passing former Chiefs RB Priest Holmes (500 points scored). Butker needs just 15 more points to pass former Chiefs kicker Ryan Succop for the third-most points in franchise history.
