ATLANTA — Younghoe Koo kicked a 58-yard field goal with two seconds remaining and the Atlanta Falcons rallied for a 26-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints without scoring an offensive touchdown. Koo kicked four field goals in all, also connecting from 53, 44 and 42 yards to give the 2-2 Falcons a desperately needed home victory. They had lost their first two games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and seemed on the verge of falling to 0-3 in Atlanta when Alvin Kamara scored on a 1-yard run with a minute remaining. A 30-yard pass interference penalty on Paulson Adebo gave the Falcons hope at the New Orleans 40. Kirk Cousins threw three straight incompletions, but it didn't matter. Koo knocked down the longest field goal in the stadium's seven-year history with plenty to spare.
