Week 1 is in the books for the Atlanta Falcons, and in case you missed it, the Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers played each other tough, with a final score of 20-23 and Tampa taking the win. Falcons’ quarterback Michael Penix Jr. led a late drive for the Falcons to potentially tie the game and go to overtime, but Younghoe Koo missed a 44-yard field goal wide right, costing the Falcons an opportunity to win the game in overtime.
Earlier in the game, Koo doinked an attempt off the crossbar that luckily bounced in and then messed up a kick-off causing the Bucs to get the ball at their own 40-yard line due to Koo missing the “landing zone.” These issues add to an overall issue Koo has been having in the kicking game going back at least to the 2024 season, where he made 12 of his last 20 attempts, and is 9 for his last 16 indoors, which the Falcons obviously play indoors.
