Mitch Holthus’ radio call for the Chiefs’ game-winning field goal does not disappoint

The Kansas City Chiefs found another unusual way to win a football game with their most recent victory, a 19-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Matthew Wright’s field goal attempt missed the left post and between the uprights, giving KC its 12th win of the season and ninth straight AFC West title.

Not only was this a missed field goal that went in the right direction for Kansas City, but Wright is also the team’s third kicker this season after Harrison Butker and Spencer Shrader were both injured. Wright had already spent time with the team in 2022 but is back as the Chiefs wait for Butker to return.

The win itself was fun, of course, but those of you waiting to hear Mitch Holthus’ field goal call won’t be disappointed.

“Winchester snaps, the placement is down, Wright’s kick is up and the kick is…GOOD! GOOD! GOOD! And the Kansas City Chiefs are doing it again! The third kicker this season to make a walk-off field goal!” And he wins the game 19 to 17 and gives the Chiefs nine consecutive AFC West championships. This is the second division dominance in National Football League history!

The great thing about this call is that Holthus doesn’t say anything crazy. He’s just a great storyteller and it’s not hard to see why Chiefs fans who might not be listening to him right now flock to try and find his calls for key moments, because they never disappoint.

The Chiefs trailed by 4:35 to play, but as we know with this team, that’s not much for them to overcome. Patrick Mahomes led a 14-play, 79-yard drive capped with a nine-yard pass to Travis Kelce that was enough to move the chains and give the Chiefs a new set of downs.

Mahomes took a knee twice to keep the clock running as Los Angeles had no timeouts and Wright came out to kick the 31-yard field goal. You know the rest. It wasn’t enough for the Chiefs’ third-line kicker to seal the game, but he also had to hit the post and jump in to give KC another strange win.

The win coupled with Buffalo’s 44-42 loss to the Rams now gives KC two games ahead of the Bills and the number one seed in the playoffs. The Chiefs finish their season against the Browns, Texans, Steelers and Broncos, while the Bills face the Lions, Jets and Patriots twice.
