With the game on the line, Koo was presented with a 44-yard field goal attempt to level the contest.
The veteran missed, however, with his team going on to lose.
Koo is 15th all-time for field-goal accuracy in NFL history.
He excelled in six years with the Falcons, even earning Pro Bowl honors in 2020.
Despite his history with the team, Koo was dropped for the week two clash at the Minnesota Vikings.
Parker Romo was elevated from the practice squad in Koo’s place.
The 28-year-old went five-for-five against the Vikings as his team triumphed 22-6.
Ahead of tomorrow’s battle with the Carolina Panthers, the Seoul-born star has been brutally cut.
Koo was previously won of the league’s top kickers.
In 2021 he made a stunning 93 per cent of his field goal attempts.
Last season, however, he endured a down year.
As the Falcons missed the playoffs, Koo made just 73.5 per cent of his field goal attempts.
Koo gracefully thanked the Falcons on Instagram following his release.
His post read, “I want to thank the Falcons organization for giving me an opportunity when no one else would six years ago.
“This place helped me grow as a kicker and as a man.
