Team recovered 2 (really 3) onside kicks at the end

This was by far the most exciting/predictably disappointing loss the Falcons had all season due to two onside-kick recoveries giving them a chance at the end. There was also a third recovery that was called back on a penalty. Atlanta squandered the valiant comeback effort, but kicker Younghoe Koo clearly has knack for converting one of the NFL’s lowest percentage plays. That bodes well for Koo’s future with the team, along with the 25-year-old’s resilience in recovering from a rough start on Thursday night.
