Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo had all the pressure on his shoulder as he came onto the field to attempt what would be a career-long 58-yard field goal for the win against the New Orleans Saints.

With seven seconds left on the clock, Koo stepped in his field goal attempt and launched toward the end zone. It had the leg, it had the accuracy, and the Falcons defeated their NFC South foe 26-24, thanks to Koo’s clutch kick.

After starting the season red-hot at 2-0, the Saints are now 2-2, matching the Falcons.

This game was a thriller until the end, but the Falcons wouldn’t have needed Koo’s heroics if Alvin Kamara hadn’t stormed into the end zone with a third-and-goal on the previous drive to take a 24-point lead. 23 lead. Kamara had 77 yards on 19 carries, while catching seven passes from Derek Carr for 42 yards.

But Kirk Cousins, who was already on a game-winning drive in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles, grabbed the ball knowing he had just one minute left to get within field goal range for the potential game-winner.

A crucial play came on second-and-10 from the Atlanta 30-yard line, when Paulson Adebo was called for defensive pass interference on the Falcons’ Darnell Mooney, who was 30 yards downfield. That immediately put the Falcons in New Orleans territory to set up the field goal.

Cousins ​​didn’t have his best game in this one, as he didn’t throw a touchdown, but had one interception on 21-of-35 passing for 238 yards.

In fact, the Falcons’ offense didn’t have an offensive touchdown in this game, as linebacker Troy Andersen had a 47-yard pick-six on Carr, who himself went 28-for-36 for 239 yards without a touchdown, and the Falcons came away as first on the board after Rashid Shaheed muffed a punt that set up a touchdown in the first quarter.

Koo went 4-for-4 on his field goal attempts and was responsible for 14 points with his two extra points.
