The Atlanta Falcons appeared to try everything imaginable to not win Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers.
However, thanks to Eddy Pineiro’s kicking failures late and Younghoe Koo’s dependability, the Falcons escaped with a 37-34 win in overtime.

Pineiro was 2-of-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-of-3 on PAT attempts.
With apologies to the late Meat Loaf, 2 out of 3 in these cases is bad.
Atlanta is in first place in the NFC South with an unremarkable mark of 4-4.
This could be considered a major dig toward Peneiro and Carolina:
7/7 on the day
