When word broke last Saturday that Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo wasn't making the trip to Minnesota with his teammates for the Sunday night battle against the Vikings, it opened some eyes.
In the Falcons ' 23-20, Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the veteran missed a potential game-tying 44-yard field goal, sealing Atlanta's fate. With Koo n ot traveling to Minnesota, Atlanta promoted former Virginia Tech kicker Parker Romo from the practice squad to kick against his former team. His performance was so good that the franchise made a big decision on Friday.
