Injured kicker Harrison Butker becomes NFL's all-time leader in field goal accuracy

cbssports.com

Harrison Butker, currently on injured reserve, became the NFL's all-time leader in field goal accuracy without playing. He surpassed Justin Tucker and Eddy Pineiro after both missed kicks during their games on Sunday. Before the games, Pineiro led with 89.74% accuracy, followed by Tucker at 89.37% and Butker at 89.21%. After a series of missed kicks, Butker's accuracy rose to 89.21%, while Tucker dropped to 89.03%. This unusual day saw three kickers hold the title of most accurate kicker. Butker, out since November 10, will likely retain the record until at least Week 15, as Tucker and Pineiro need to make several consecutive field goals to reclaim the title.
