Falcons' Younghoe Koo drills career-long field goal to beat Saints

29.09.2024 - 22:51 foxnews.com

The 2024/25 NFL Season is almost here, and Craig Carton, Danny Parkins, and Mark Schlereth make some bold predictions about who makes the playoffs in the NFC.

This includes the Atlanta Falcons being the 1-seed. Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo had all the pressure on his shoulders, as he came onto the field to attempt a 58-yard field goal, which would be a career-long, for the win against the New Orleans Saints.

With seven seconds left on the clock, Koo stepped into his field goal attempt and launched into toward the end zone. It had the leg, it had the accuracy, and the Falcons took down their NFC South foe, 26-24, thanks to Koo’s clutch kick.

After starting the season red hot at 2-0, the Saints are now 2-2, which matches the Falcons.

America's Aaron Jones laboured hard to score 48 not out in 31 deliveries after Afghanistan's Noor Ahmad scalped three wickets as Saint Lucia Kings defeated the Guyana Amazon Warriors by six wickets in the final to win their maiden Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title at Providence Stadium. The victory made Saint Lucia the fifth team to win the CPL, ending their run as the only original franchise yet to claim the title. On a slow, tricky pitch, and after a middle-order collapse that left Saint Lucia reeling at 51 for 4 in pursuit of a modest 139, Jones turned the match around with a sudden burst of power-hitting.
