The Atlanta Falcons’ third win of the 2023 season came in dramatic fashion. A game-winning 37-yard field goal from Younghoe Koo completed a fantastic two-minute drill orchestrated by a second-year quarterback under intense scrutiny.
Desmond Ridder’s performance was needed and welcome, and it provided reasons to believe the offense can continue to evolve as he develops. In the meantime, Atlanta’s defense has proven time and again that it is capable of holding down the fort to keep games close. The identity of this group is starting to take form, and the hope is that more fine-tuning as things go along will lead the Falcons where they want to go.
