Four years ago, Younghoe Koo was released by the Los Angeles Chargers after missing a game-tying and game-winning field goal during the Chargers 0-4 start. Last season, Koo had one of the best seasons ever for a Falcons kicker, making the most field goals in franchise history with 37, but never scored a game-winner.

In Sunday’s game, he finally got one. Koo nailed a 40-yard field goal as time expired to give the Falcons a 17-14 win over the Giants.
