Saints special teams shined in the first half vs. Falcons
The New Orleans Saints take a ten point lead into halftime against the Atlanta Falcons. In Darren Rizzi's debut as the Saints interim head coach special teams has played a big part in the game. It's only appropriate seeing special teams is Rizzi's... specialty.
At the end of first half, the road team aimed to make this a one score game. Younghoe Koo had his field goal blocked by John Ridgeway in the final minute of the second half.
This was Koo's second missed field goal of the game. It's the second time this year he's missed two field goals in a game. This comes after Koo knocked in a game winner against the Saints in the first matchup.
The first miss was just a poor kick by Koo. The second miss can be credited to New Orleans getting penetration and getting hands up for the deflection.
