Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo had an unusual game against Saints

Younghoe Koo didn’t quite look like himself during Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.

In fact, he has never performed so poorly against the division rival team. This performance marks the most missed field goals Koo has ever had in a single game against the Saints, missing a total of only two against the Saints through his first eleven games in the rivalry series.

This Sunday, Koo was out of sorts after a downright ugly attempt from the 53 and had one of his attempts blocked from the 35. Before the weekend, Koo had not missed from inside the 40-yard line since 2020, making 63 consecutive attempts in that time . range. Later he bounced a try from 46 yards from the upright side.

Koo entered the game with an 80% field goal success rate (16-for-20), connecting on all 21 extra-point attempts, responsible for 69 of the Falcons’ total points this season.
