The Atlanta Falcons experienced a decline in the second half of the 2024 season, finishing with an 8-9 record after starting 6-3, due to factors like missed kicks, poor clock management, and defensive issues, not just quarterback Kirk Cousins’ performance. Kicker Younghoe Koo had a disappointing year, converting only 73.5% of field goals and missing the final three games due to a hip injury, prompting the team to sign Lenny Krieg, a converted soccer player, who will compete with Koo for the starting position in 2025. Koo, who previously excelled, will aim to rebound after recovery, making the upcoming competition crucial.
