The Atlanta Falcons are looking to rebound from a disappointing 2024 season, where they finished with an 8-9 record after a promising 6-3 start. Key to their struggles was the performance of kicker Younghoe Koo, who had his worst season since joining the team in 2019, converting just 73.5% of his field goal attempts. An injury to his hip during the season contributed to his decline in accuracy, although he managed to maintain a perfect record on extra points, successfully converting all 26 attempts.

This season, the Falcons aim to improve their special teams, placing additional pressure on Koo to return to his Pro Bowl form. The competition for consistency will be crucial, as the team addresses its other issues, such as missed kicks and late-game management, to support a more stable offensive and defensive effort.
