Opposing kickers have struggled since Darren Rizzi became head coach

Since Darren Rizzi became interim head coach, opposing kickers have missed 75 percent of their field goals, and the Saints have 2 FG blocks

Apparently making your special teams coordinator your interim head coach earns you some good luck on the third phase of the game

Since Darren Rizzi has become the New Orleans Saints head coach, opposing kickers have struggled against New Orleans. Every team the Saints have faced since the coaching switch have missed a field goal, other than the Los Angeles Rams and they didn’t attempt a field goal.

The most notable miss was Bryan Bresee blocking Matt Gay’s field goal to seal a Saints win over the New York Giants. The play earned Bresee recognition as NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

It all started with Younghoe Koo and the Atlanta Falcons. Koo is a normally surefooted kicker, especially against New Orleans. He’d only missed two field goals versus the Saints coming into the game, and one was a blocked kick from beyond 60 yards.

In Week 10, Koo missed three field goals. That’s more field goals than he’d missed against the Saints in his whole career. It’s also the most kicks Koo has missed in a single game in his career.

In total, opposing teams are 2-of-8 on field goals since Rizzi has taken over. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. You be the judge.

Is Younghoe Koo playing today? Injury updates for Falcons kicker

Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is dealing with a hip injury. Here are the latest updates

Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is dealing with a hip injury entering Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Koo was given a questionable game designation on Atlanta’s final injury report, leaving his status for Week 13 up in the air.

Younghoe Koo injury update

The Falcons released their inactives list for Week 13 and Koo is officially active. The veteran kicker was limited in practice this week. With Riley Patterson ruled out, it’s clear that Koo will be a full go in Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

Will Koo miss any time?

Koo is not seriously injured, and therefore unlikely to miss any time going forward unless he reaggravates his hip before next week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Falcons kicker depth chart

While Koo is the only kicker on the team, the Falcons signed Riley Patterson to the practice squad and elevated him to the 53-man roster. Patterson has plenty of experience and should have no problem filling in for Koo if necessary.

Falcons elevate kicker from practice squad ahead of Chargers game

Falcons elevate two players from practice squad, including kicker Riley Patterson, ahead of Week 13 game vs. Chargers

The Atlanta Falcons have announced two practice squad elevations ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. According to team reporter Terrin Waack, the Falcons will elevate kicker Riley Patterson and linebacker Josh Woods to the 53-man roster.

Patterson was signed earlier this week once Younghoe Koo was added to the injury report. Koo is battling a hip injury and was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game in Atlanta.

While this may be a precautionary move, Koo’s status is worth keeping an eye on Sunday morning. Patterson has converted on 59 of 67 career field goal attempts and 96 out of 100 extra points attempts.

Woods has played in one other game for the Falcons this season. The 28-year-old has appeared in 66 games since entering the league in 2019, recording 122 tackles (76 solo), three QB hits, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

The Falcons also signed former seventh-round pick Jovaughn Gwyn to the practice squad one day after releasing him from the 53-man roster.

Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo wins NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

The Atlanta Falcons turned in their most complete performance of the season during Sunday’s 29-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The offense stepped up, the defense came through and Younghoe Koo did what he always does.

The Falcons kicker was responsible for more than half of the team’s total points, going 5-for-5 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts. Koo has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts in Week 16.

Koo has converted 30 of 33 field goals for the season. While the offense has frequently underachieved, Koo’s reliable leg has helped the Falcons stay competitive most weeks.

On Sunday, Koo will look to help Atlanta secure its eighth win of the season when the team takes on the Chicago Bears.
