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

On special teams, kicker Younghoe Koo was an impressive 6-for-6 on field goal attempts in his Falcons debut. He would earn NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in Week 10.

The Falcons played their most complete game of the season during Sunday’s 26-9 win over the Saints.

Offensively, the team controlled the line of scrimmage, winning the time of possession battle and keeping Drew Brees off the field. Defensively, Atlanta recorded six sacks and held New Orleans to 3-of-12 on third downs.

Koo was brought in after not kicking in an NFL regular season game since 2017 with the Chargers. He replaced veteran kicker Matt Bryant after Week 8 in what was viewed as a controversial move at the time.

At just 25-years-old, the Falcons are hoping Koo can keep up this level of play and earn a long-term role with the team over the final seven games of the year.
