Falcons Hope Nick Folk Can End Frustrating History at Kicker
The Atlanta Falcons have spent the better part of the last two seasons searching for stability at kicker, cycling through multiple options while struggling to find a dependable answer in critical moments.
After going through a lot of kickers in recent years, Atlanta believed it had finally found that consistency by bringing in veteran Nick Folk. However, even with his impressive track record, the Falcons are experiencing some familiar problems.
Folk’s recent struggles have brought renewed attention to the position, making special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman’s confidence in the veteran especially important as the season progresses.
Through eight games, Folk has converted 12 of his 16 field goal attempts and missed an extra point, snapping a streak of 67 consecutive successful extra-point attempts. That is a significant departure from his previous three seasons, when he missed just one field goal in each campaign and consistently ranked among the NFL’s most accurate kickers.
Nick Folk Misses only field-goal attempt
Folk went 0-for-1 on field-goal tries and did not attempt an extra point in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers.
The kicker missed wide left from 53 yards out in the first quarter. It was difficult for the Atlanta offense to move the ball in rainy conditions. Folk has failed to connect on four field-goal tries and an extra point in 2026.
