Kansas City Chiefs long snapper James Winchester reflects on his career, emphasizing a year-by-year approach to his playing future. After a long tenure with the team, he expressed gratitude for his role in the Chiefs' Super Bowl successes and mentioned the importance of continual personal evaluation as well as the camaraderie with teammates like Travis Kelce. Winchester, who went undrafted in 2013, has turned into an essential part of the Chiefs' special teams.

Winchester noted that his priorities have shifted over the years, moving from securing a long-term contract to appreciating the opportunity to play each season. He values his time spent with the organization and the teammates, feeling lucky to be part of a franchise regarded highly in the league.

The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for the playoffs, aiming to optimize performance in all game phases. In their recent victory against the Cleveland Browns, the defense excelled, while the offense faced challenges. Kicker Harrison Butker, returning from injury, missed a field goal attempt due to a miscommunication during the setup, though he performed well on extra points.

Special teams coach Dave Toub took responsibility for the mishap, emphasizing that Butker's kicking technique has been consistent despite concerns regarding his knee. As the postseason approaches, the Chiefs are hopeful that Butker will regain his rhythm, given his impressive playoff history.
