Younghoe Koo shanks potential game-tying FG to lose game for Falcons

Younghoe Koo miss

Younghoe Koo has had an outstanding two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons after his NFL career got off to a rocky start, but his missed field goal on Sunday is something that will haunt him for a very long time.

Koe had a chance to send the Falcons and Kansas City Chiefs to overtime with a 39-yard field goal. He pushed it right, and Atlanta lost 17-14.

Koe has been arguably the best kicker in the NFL this season. He had made 35 of 36 field goals on the season prior to Sunday’s miss. Koe has gone 8-for-8 from 50-plus yards on the year.

Koe made just 3 of 6 field goals with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017 before they moved on from him. It would not have been a surprise if his career was over at that point, but he landed with the Falcons last year and made the most of it. He’s come a long way from the reports we heard about him before the season, but Sunday’s missed kick was as brutal as it gets.
