Fittingly toe-to-toe with the NFC South’s then-leaders in a once touchdown-heavy game, the Atlanta Falcons found that with field goals suddenly becoming both teams’ go-to method, it paid to have the clutch, proven leg of Younghoe Koo. No. 1 across the NFL in game-clinching kicks in the final 10 seconds since 2021, Koo — pressured by what would be a career-long 58-yarder — moved with calmness and poise, sinking the ball through the uprights for a 26-24 win. Automatic from wherever he lined up against the New Orleans Saints, Koo was a perfect four-of-four on field goals, alongside a two-of-two effort on extra points, contributing 14 points altogether on Sept. 29, 2024.
