The Kansas City Chiefs are sticking with kicker Harrison Butker despite his struggles this season.  Head coach Andy Reid confirmed Wednesday that Butker will handle kicking duties Sunday against Atlanta.  Butker has missed an NFL-high seven field goals this season, including a 51-yarder against the Jets last weekend.  The Chiefs signed veteran Justin Tucker to their practice squad last month, but Reid says Butker will get another chance.
