  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Salvages rocky start

    Koo made three of five field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Thursday's 36-30 overtime win over Tampa Bay.

    Koo actually missed his first field-goal attempt twice, getting a second try after his first one was waved off by a penalty. He also had a 54-yarder blocked. However, he salvaged his performance by sinking a game-tying, 52-yarder as time expired in regulation. The Falcons' offense has picked up steam, and Koo is benefitting. Over the last three weeks, Koo has gone 8-for-10 from beyond 40 yards, including five 50-plus makes and a perfect 7-for-7 on extra-point tries.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Busy day ends with game-winner

    Koo made both extra-point tries and all four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.

    Coming into Sunday, Koo had attempted five field goals through three games, including only one attempt from beyond 40 yards. However, he was put to the test versus a division rival and rose to the occasion. Koo connected on four attempts beyond 40 on Sunday, including a career-high 58-yarder with two seconds left in the fourth quarter to give the Falcons the lead. Koo hasn't missed a kick this season and remains a strong play as long as Atlanta's offense can move the ball efficiently.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Nails 50-yarder in loss

    Koo made both extra-point tries and his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Koo hasn't missed a kick this season and nailed his first attempt from 50-plus yards. Last year, the veteran kicker went just 3-for-6 from beyond 50, so his effortless boot in the fourth quarter on Sunday Night Football against the reigning champs was an encouraging sign for Koo's upside moving forward.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect in Monday's win

    Koo made all three field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Monday's 22-21 win over the Eagles.

    In order, Koo made field goals from 39, 22 and 34 yards. Arguably, his most difficult kick was the go-ahead extra point with 34 seconds left in the fourth quarter after Kirk Cousins found Drake London wide-open for a touchdown. Koo also had an extra-point opportunity taken away, as the Falcons aggressively decided to go for a two-point conversion after taking a 15-10 lead late in the third quarter. Koo has yet to miss a kick through two games but hasn't attempted a field goal past 40 yards.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect but quiet

    Koo made his only extra-point try and field goal attempt in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Koo kicked a 24-yard field goal on the Falcons' opening drive, then added the extra point on a Kyle Pitts touchdown late in the second quarter. Other than the kickoff to open the second half, the Georgia Southern product remained on the sideline for the remainder of the matchup. Next up for Koo and the Falcons is a Week 2 matchup on MNF against the Eagles.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Sports leg sleeve at practice

    Koo sported a sleeve on his kicking leg during Monday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Koo made both of his attempts during Atlanta's preseason opener, including a 53-yarder in the third quarter. The reasoning behind the leg sleeve remains unclear, but Ledbetter noted that Koo missed a 51-yard attempt during Monday's practice. Koo hasn't missed a game over the past three seasons.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Solid despite long-distance misses

    Koo made 32 of 37 field-goal attempts and 27 of 28 extra-point tries across 17 appearances during the 2023 campaign.

    For a second straight season, Koo went exactly 32-for-37 on field-goal tries. In the previous two campaigns, he went 27-for-29 and 37-for-39, respectively, and the biggest difference between the separate two-year stretches is his efficiency from beyond 50 yards. In 2020 and 2021, Koo went 12-for-13 from 50-plus, but he's made just 10 of his last 17 attempts from that distance. Koo's long-range accuracy was never his strong suit, but it's disappointing to see him getting worse in that department -- 3-for-6 in 2023 after 7-for-11 in 2022. Despite the concerns, Koo is still one of the most reliable kickers from inside 50 yards and is under contract through the 2026 campaign. He could see a boost in fantasy value if the Falcons' offense can take a step forward with a new head coach in 2024.
