If you make a game-winning 58-yarder against the Saints, you’re allowed to miss a kick. While Koo technically missed three kicks that night, one didn’t count due to a penalty and the other was blocked. It was a bad miss and cost the offense, but considering the historically great kicker, he has earned more than a little mercy for not always delivering perfection.

Despite the struggles and the fact that his coach showed no confidence in him before half-time, Koo was put in a draw situation. With one second left, the Falcons were assessed a delay of game penalty and proceeded with the kick. Lined up to try to force overtime, Tampa called a timeout to force the kicker to sit down further and think about the prime time moment.

The misses and extra time didn’t phase Koo and the Atlanta kicker delivered when the team needed it most. Yes, the miss was frustrating, but not every team has a player who can deliver at that moment. Koo has done just that in consecutive weeks and deserves a lot of credit for seemingly always being able to be unphased and perform in the clutch
