Kansas City Chiefs temporary kicker Spencer Shrader made the most of his opportunity to play hero in Sunday’s nailbiter against the Carolina Panthers.

Shrader kicked the game-winning 31-yarder as time expired to push the defending Super Bowl champions to 10-1. Not only did Shrader make good on his kick, but he even got one of the field goal referees to “use his head”, if you will.

Spencer Shrader was also perfect in the Chiefs’ 30-21 road loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11, making all three extra point attempts. So far, the Notre Dame product has been perfect as Butker’s replacement.
