In our “Let’s Argue” series, our Mark Gunnels considers the hot takes, wacky predictions and unpopular opinions of Kansas City Chiefs fans from all over the world.
I’m concerned about Harrison Butker
After reading the comments so far, I have to agree with the Butker concern. We’ve had way too many close games not to worry about him at least a little.

I’d be lying if I said I don’t agree.
Look… when Butker is healthy, I have zero concern about him — from any distance. But since returning from injury, the future Hall of Fame kicker has been iffy, to say the least.
Butker has missed two field goals and an extra point during his four games back.
In this game against the Houston Texans, I don’t think it’ll come down to a game-winning field goal. But to improve his confidence, it would be nice to see Butker nail a couple of them.
Rashee Rice will play in the Super Bowl
Rice will play in the SB.

We have to stop this.
I know there was a video circulating the Internet that showed Rice working out. But if the Chiefs reach the Super Bowl, there’s no way he’s playing.
If he comes back this season, I will buy someone a Rice jersey.
Peyton Hendershot should get some playing time
Hendershot should get some time. Winning or losing.

While I love Hendershot, it’s hard to imagine where he fits in.
We’re now in the playoffs. That means more snaps for the top guys. So we should expect a lot of Travis Kelce and Noah Gray at tight end.
In this scenario, there’s no doubt Hendershot is the third tight end. Nonetheless, I just don’t know how much we should expect him to be on the field.
