The Falcons have spent well over a decade basking in the glow of strong play from their kickers. After Jason Elam imploded during the 2009 season, the Falcons brought in Matt Bryant and got one of the league’s best options for 10 or so seasons. Minus a messy 2019 where Giorgio Tavecchio wilted and Bryant was brought back before Younghoe Koo joined up, the Falcons have had Koo looking like one of the league’s most consistent kickers.
Those days aren’t over, but inevitably, there is some early season fretting over Koo’s performance. He missed two extra points in preseason, one in the regular season, and a 47 yard field goal against the Lions on Sunday.
