Yes of course it can and probably will only difference is, its more than likely it will not hit earth, as we have a slight advantage over the dinosaurs our "Intelligence". They would lauch a stream of nukes and evicerate the comet well outside earths orbit to prevent any fragments hitting us, most of the smallish ones would burn up and break apart when entering our atmosphere.
