The Atlanta Falcons were defeated by Washington on Thursday night, which delivered the team its 12th consecutive preseason loss. As the team got into field goal range following a fake punt and Matt Ryan scramble, all eyes were on starting kicker Giorgio Tavecchio.
Earlier in the week, Dan Quinn shared his support for the 29-year-old kicker.
“You don’t like to miss them whether they are 30 yards or 50 yarders,” Quinn said. “He’s a competitor and has the leg strength to take the long shots. That’s the nice part about having a guy like him.
