The Falcons put themselves in a tough spot by winning just one game over the first half of the season. After two weeks of dominant, complementary football, it seems as if the team has moved past its 1-7 start and is simply focusing on what it can control.

Atlanta’s playoff chances are razor thin at this point, but until the team is mathematically eliminated, things should be interesting at the very least.

With six games remaining, here are six players to watch as the Falcons try to do the unthinkable and sneak into a wild card spot.

K Younghoe Koo

Atlanta’s kicker Younghoe Koo had another good game in Week 11. He is 7-for-8 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra point attempts. Cutting veteran Matt Bryant was a controversial move with the season in complete disarray, but Koo has been solid in his first NFL game action in two years. The Falcons are likely to play in some tighter games over their final six weeks, meaning we should get a chance to see Koo in some high-pressure situations as he looks to lock down the kicker job long-term.
