The Kansas City Chiefs just keep doing what they do—winning, and often by the skin of their teeth. On Sunday night, it was kicker Matthew Wright delivering the goods, nailing a game-winning field goal as time expired to give the Chiefs a 30-27 win over the Chargers.

But this wasn't just another game-winner; it was a piece of history. Wright became the third different Chiefs kicker to drill a game-winning field goal at the buzzer this season—something no other team in NFL history has done.
Not even two kickers in a season, let alone three.
Let's rewind: In Week 2, Harrison Butker hit a clutch field goal to beat the Bengals 26-25. Fast forward to Week 12, and Spencer Shrader came through with a 31-yarder to knock off the Panthers 30-27.
And now, in Week 14, Wright delivers the latest in a season full of last-second heroics.
The Chiefs may not want to be relying on game-winners every week, but they sure seem to have a knack for it. At 12-1, they're on the brink of securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a coveted home-field advantage in the playoffs.
And if they find themselves in a playoff game that comes down to a last-second kick? Well, they're already three-for-three this year.
They might not mind the pressure one bit. Whether it's Butker, Shrader, or Wright, the Chiefs know how to find a way to win when it counts. And that's a pretty dangerous weapon heading into the postseason.
