After releasing Younghoe Koo after seven seasons, Parker Romo played in his first game as the full-time starting kicker for the Atlanta Falcons. After going 5-for-5 in the Falcons' 22-6 Week 2 win over the Minnesota Vikings, Romo struggled in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Romo went 0-for-2 on field goals in Charlotte, missing a 49 and a 55-yarder in the first quarter. Falcons coach Raheem Morris spoke about his new kicker's woeful afternoon in the loss to the Panthers, opened the idea of having a kicker competition, saying it's necessary until the team's kicking woes are solved.
