Falcons Waive Kicker Who Missed Extra Point in Loss to Patriots

The Falcons lost the Patriots 24-23 last Sunday in a game that could’ve gone to overtime if kicker Parker Romo hadn’t missed Atlanta’s final extra point attempt.

Michael Penix Jr. threw a touchdown pass to Drake London (his third of the game) with just under five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Ideally, this should’ve tied the game at 24 points each. But Romo then missed the extra point attempt. The Patriots went three and out on the next drive, but the Falcons weren’t able to score on their final drive of the game, resulting in a devastating loss.
