Spencer Shrader field goal as time expires lifts Chiefs over Panthers

The Chiefs needed a late field goal to survive the Panthers

There have not been many good football decisions around New York football in 2024. Spencer Shrader arguably made the best one.

The kicker had the choice of remaining a New York Jets — elevated from practice squad — or signing with the Kansas City Chiefs to replace the injured Harrison Butker for at least four games.

Shrader chose the Super Bowl champs and on Sunday  kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired to life the Chiefs over the Carolina Panthers.

It was the first game-winning kick of Shrader’s NFL career.
