Younghoe Koo 

Remember the annual Atlanta Falcons Kicker Younghoe Koo preseason struggle, fan stress meltdown? All the people who worried. Only to be followed by an 89.1% career Field Goal percentage (4th all-time) and performances like Sunday afternoon against Dennis Allen’s team.

58 yard game winner, 53 yarder, 44, & lastly a 42 yard Field Goal.

Koo Beans. Koo Beans.

Last week featured Punter Bradley Pinion, this week featured Kicker Koo. A muffed punt recovery for a TD, a Pick 6, and 14 kicker points…A kick returner next week?

Troy Andersen

17 tackles!? The Pick 6 that ultimately won the game could be left out of this article and Troy Andersen still be included. I’ll tell you though, I don’t think #44’s teammates would like it very much if he weren’t included. 

While some of us fans and media cracked jokes about the classic “We are going to play fast and free” defensive introduction from Defensive Coordinator Jimmy Lake, Andersen’s performance Sunday on tape displays aggressive open field 4.42 speed wide-open. 

A situation where someone needed to step up in Nate Landman’s injury absence, Andersen more than stepped up, having his career best game in his 10th start as an Atlanta Falcon since being taken 58th overall in 2022.
