With the news that Matt Bryant is out for this week’s tilt against the New York Giants, the Falcons are going to need to be in the market for a kicker. It all goes well, it’ll only be for a single week, but we know how these things have gone in 2018.
Given how critical a win is here for a Falcons team hoping to find their footing, they can’t afford to just sign Joe Glassleg off the street and plug him in. The Falcons need somebody who can at least achieve a measure of competence in Mercedes-Benz Stadium if the offense falters close to the end zone, which is possible given how ferocious the Giants pass rush can be on a good day.
