One struggling Chiefs player still has Andy Reid's trust

Let's face it, the Kansas City Chiefs had some bad individual performances on Sunday against the Houston Texans. The game we thought it could all come back together and it would be just a cruise to the finish line happened to be the exact opposite.
These bad performances came from players that you almost wouldn't expect. But, then again, shout out to the Texans for staying in the game and being a tough out.
The Chiefs had one player in particular play worse than I think any of us expected him to play. Harrison Butker may have had his worst game of the season, as he missed two field goals that could have put the game away.
But with a guy like Butker, who once held the spot as the second most accurate kicker of all time, you have to stay confident in him because it will come back, eventually.
“You know what, being a kicker is a little like being a batter, and sometimes you get in a slump," Reid said. "He's a great one, and he'll get through it, and then he'll come out of it even better than what he was. You got to keep kicking, and that's what we're going to do with him.”
Butker never fully recovered from the ankle injury he suffered at the beginning of the season, so my theory is that he is still dealing with that.
While I love the trust Reid has in him still, even after what he did on Sunday against the Texans, I'd still love to get someone else while Butker gets fully healthy.
Yeah, he may make them all the next game, but what about the playoffs? You can't afford to have that happen in the playoffs.
