Younghoe Koo named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for November

In the month of November, Younghoe Koo drilled all 10 of his field goal attempts and all 8 of his extra point attempts, chipping in a special teams tackle. That was enough to get the rising star his first Special Teams Player of the Month award, a well-deserved honor for a player who has turned into one of the most reliable kickers in football.

Koo is the first Falcon to win this honor since Matt Bryant back in 2016. After going 23 for 26 on field goals and 15 for 16 on extra points after taking over the kicker gig partway through the season, Koo is currently 29 for 30 on field goals and 22 for 25 on extra points, and he’s also handled kickoffs throughout the year.
