"One week down, seventeen to go. Falcons fans, I know this one stings. Sunday didn't end the way anyone wanted, but Week 1 gave us more than frustration. It gave us answers. We learned that Michael Penix Jr. isn't backing down from the moment, that the rookies are ready to make an impact, and, yeah, that there are a few spots on this roster that need fixing fast. It's a long season, but after one game, we've already learned a lot. So, let's get into it."
"Kicker problems truly are the worst, and Atlanta's got some. Younghoe Koo's struggles didn't start Sunday, with his miss of a potential game-tying 44-yard field goal, but they've now become impossible to ignore. Since the beginning of last season, Koo has been one of the more unreliable kickers in the league, ranking 29th out of 31 kickers in FG% (73%) with 20 or more field goal attempts since the start of the 2024 season."
Michael Penix Jr. threw for 298 yards and produced strong performance under pressure, signaling significant rookie quarterback promise. Several rookies looked ready to contribute immediately. Kicking has become a pressing issue after Younghoe Koo missed a potential game-tying 44-yard field goal and ranks 29th of 31 kickers in FG% (73%) since the start of 2024. The Falcons added competition by bringing in practice-squad kickers Lenny Krieg and John Parker Romo. The roster contains multiple spots that require prompt attention despite encouraging offensive signs from the quarterback and young players.
