Atlanta Falcons place kicker Younghoe Koo, of South Korea, right, celebrates kicking the game-winning field goal against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023, in Tampa, Fla. Yep, seven games into an up-and-down season, the Falcons hold the top spot in the NFC South.
The Falcons pulled out the victory despite three fumbles by quarterback Desmond Ridder, which cost them at least one touchdown and probably another.“We certainly like to make it hard on ourselves,” Smith said. “But our guys make plays in big moments. We always feel like we got a shot, no matter what happens. It’s a resilient group.”An offseason spending spree directed largely toward the defense had paid big dividends.
The guys on the defensive side are the biggest reason the Falcons have a winning record despite being held under 20 points in four of their seven games.This is a familiar gripe, but Ridder simply has got to do a better job of protecting the football. “Back when we’re 7, 8 years old, playing football, you learn that when you’re running to the left, put the ball in your left hand, when you’re running to the right, put it in the right,” Ridder conceded.
