Atlanta Falcons News - NFL | FOX Sports

Younghoe Koo - Struggles continue in Week 13 Koo made two of three field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Koo missed his first kick wide right from 35 yards out before making his next three, including a 41-yard field goal in the third quarter. The veteran kicker has been playing through a hip issue, and it appears to be impacting his performance. He's gone 12-for-20 on field-goal tries over Atlanta's last eight games after making his first nine attempts. Koo finished with a field-goal percentage of 86 or higher in each of his first five seasons as a Falcon but has made only 72 percent of his field goals this season.

Kyle Pitts - Does nothing with two targets Pitts didn't record a catch on two targets during Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Pitts was held without a catch for the second time this season, and over the last four games, he has totaled six receptions on 12 targets for 75 yards. From Weeks 5-8, the tight end caught 21 of 27 targets for 314 yards and two touchdowns. However, that stretch is starting to look like an outlier compared to the rest of his season - 14 catches on 27 targets for 180 yards and a TD across his other eight appearances. It's worth noting Kirk Cousins had his worst game of the season against the Chargers, throwing four interceptions and zero touchdowns, so a bounce-back effort from the veteran QB could mean better production from Pitts moving forward.

Tyler Allgeier - Modest production in loss Allgeier rushed eight times for 16 yards and caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Allgeier couldn't find any room to operate, and the Falcons' offense as a whole struggled to move the ball consistently. The third-year running back has totaled 50 scrimmage yards in four games this season, but his production has been sporadic as a backup. Allgeier remains a valuable insurance piece for those rostering Bijan Robinson, but the former doesn't have much standalone value.

David Onyemata - Notches sack in loss Onyemata recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Onyemata was able to get to Justin Herbert for his first sack since Week 5, raising his season total to 2.0 sacks over 12 games. The defensive lineman has now registered 34 total tackles (17 solo), including the 2.0 sacks, while also securing a pass defensed in 2024.

Nate Landman - Four tackles in loss Landman compiled four total tackles (no solo) in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Landman played in a rotation with Troy Andersen (knee) at inside linebacker in Andersen's return to the field in Week 13, recording three more tackles than his counterpart. Landman has now recorded 56 total tackles (30 solo) and three forced fumbles over eight games in 2024 and he'll likely continue to have the edge over Andersen moving forward.

Arnold Ebiketie - Two sacks in loss Ebiketie registered three solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Ebiketie was able to record his first multi-sack performance of the year Sunday, getting to quarterback Justin Herbert twice in the loss. The linebacker played just 42 percent of the team's defensive snaps, his lowest total since Week 5, but he made the most of his opportunities. Ebiketie has now compiled 27 total tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed over 12 games in 2024.

Impact Elliss was able to get to quarterback Justin Herbert for his first sack since Week 9 in the loss. The linebacker did see his streak of five straight games with double-digit tackles come to an end though.

Ray-Ray McCloud - Surge continues in Week 13 loss McCloud brought in four of six targets for 95 yards in the Falcons' 17-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also rushed once for minus-2 yards.

Impact McCloud generated a career-high receiving yardage tally with a big assist from a 60-yard reception late in the third quarter that helped set up a field goal. That catch was preceded by a 22-yard grab earlier in the period, making McCloud the only Falcons pass catcher to have any success generating chunk plays through the air Sunday. The veteran's career-best receiving line now stands at 45-476-1 through 12 regular-season games, and McCloud could be making some inroads into Darnell Mooney's No. 2 receiver snaps heading into a Week 14 road matchup against the Vikings.

Darnell Mooney - Limited to three catches in loss Mooney secured three of six targets for 20 yards in the Falcons' 17-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact Mooney was a distant fourth in the pass-catching pecking order Sunday, posting his lowest receiving yardage total since his Week 1 team debut against the Steelers. The veteran speedster was also the target on Kirk Cousins' late third-quarter pick-six, and Mooney has now been under 30 receiving yards in consecutive games for the first time this season. Mooney will look to bounce back against a Vikings secondary that's proved vulnerable to the pass in a Week 14 road matchup.
