Despite a missed field goal by Harrison Butker and an offensive pass interference penalty, the Kansas City Chiefs secured a lead against the New England Patriots. The game's turning point was a trick play, attributed to 'Andy Reid's goal line witchcraft', which saw Jerick McKinnon pass to Rashee Rice for a touchdown. Rice is emerging as a significant player in the Chiefs' offense.
Chiefs now up in Foxboro—great play design on the TD, looked almost like an old-school counter with Rashee collecting the shovel pass (which would be the wrinkle) and walking in standing up.

Rashee Rice has the goods to be a legit weapon in Kansas City. And my oh my do they need him to be.
The @chiefs getting a huge chunk play.. then following it up with offensive pass interference and Butker’s 1st missed FG of the season pretty much sums up their offense lately
The streak is over. Harrison Butker with his first miss of the season. I didn't have Butker missing a chip shot field goal on my bingo card of self-inflicted mistakes by the Chiefs.
#Chiefs K Harrison Butker misses his 1st FG of the season (from 38 yards) in #KCvsNE
First miss of the season for Butker. The Patriots' best chance for hanging close today is for the Chiefs to help them. So far, Chiefs are obliging
Typical #Chiefs drive. Move the ball effectively but a bad penalty (PI on Rashee Rice) stifles the drive #KCvsNE
Harrison Butker wide right from 39 yards. He had been 23 for 23 on FGs this year and 68 of 71 career under 40 yards. Big break for the Patriots
Chiefs K Harrison Butker just missed his first field goal of the season. Big break for the #Patriots.
That's Harrison Butker's first missed kick off the season.
The Chiefs won the toss. You know what happened next. Also, Harrison Butker's range today appears to be good from 60 yards.
