Week 12 featured clutch kicks from Harrison Butker and yet another step in the national rise of Jackson Hawes, we take a look at it all in this week’s edition of #ProJackets.
HARRISON BUTKER proved, once again, that he is one of the best kickers in the game, drilling five field goals, including a game-tying 25-yarder at the end of regulation and a game-winning 27-yarder in overtime to lift the Chiefs to a 23-20 (OT) victory over the AFC South leading Indianapolis Colts. It was his sixth-career game with at least five field goals made as he has now converted 12 consecutive field-goal attempts, dating back to Sept. 28.
JACKSON HAWES continued to showcase his talent with the Buffalo Bills, hauling in a pair of catches for 26 yards against Houston, last Thursday. He is now the 4th highest-rated offensive player on the Bills roster according to PFF, boasting a 79.2 overall grade, behind only James Cook, Josh Allen and Dalton Kinkaid.
