However, in a rare occurrence, Butker missed. The Chargers kept their lead, and they eventually went on to win 27-21.

« Harrison Butker, interestingly enough, is wide right! » Eisen said.
Butker, of course, has voiced conservative politics in the past, even endorsing Republicans such as President Donald Trump.
