Younghoe Koo has not quite looked like himself during Sunday's contest against the New Orleans Saints.

In fact, he's never performed this badly against the division rival team. This performance marks the most missed field goals Koo has ever had in a single game against the Saints, only missing a total of two against the Saints in total through his first 11 games in the rivalry series.

This Sunday, Koo was no-good on a downright ugly attempt from the 53 and had one of his tries blocked from the 35. Before the weekend, Koo had not missed from inside the 40 yard line since 2020 and made 63 consecutive attempts in that range. He later bounced a 46-yard try off the upright.

Koo went into the game with an 80% success rate on field goals (16-for-20), nailing all 21 extra-point attempts, responsible for 69 of the Falcons' total points this season.
