After watching the Dallas Cowboys erase a 21-point deficit for a walk-off win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the first thought that crossed my mind was: It must be nice to have a competent kicker you can trust. Of all the missteps in a year that has gone nothing like planned for the Washington Commanders, the search for a dependable kicker stands out as Adam Peters' most significant failure.

The Atlanta Falcons are on their third kicker of the 2025 campaign. Per NFL insider Mike Garafolo, the team has brought on kicker Zane Gonzalez. The veteran spent part of 2024 with the Washington Commanders, hitting 5 of 7 field goal tries and all 19 extra point attempts, but had previously not kicked in an NFL game since 2021. The corresponding move is, inevitably, Atlanta cutting ties with Parker Romo.
