Harrison Butker hit field goals of 54, 48, and 28 yards for 10 of Kansas City’s 22 points, but also missed a field goal wide right and a PAT wide left — running his total to four missed kicks in three games. New York outgained Kansas City on the ground, 130 yards to 105 on 27 carries, but Wilson’s two interceptions, a 5.4 QBR, and a third-down rate of 10 percent made that rushing advantage irrelevant. Cam Skattebo absorbed the full New York backfield workload after Tracy’s first-quarter exit and finished with 121 yards from scrimmage and a rushing touchdown — his second consecutive game scoring on the ground.
