Atlanta Falcons' trustworthy kicker Younghoe Koo has successfully made seven game-winning field goals throughout his career, with the latest coming in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Thanks to Koo's 51-yarder, the Falcons pulled off a 16-13 victory over the Bucs and clinched first place in the NFC South.

That was cool and all, but the best part is what happened next.

Koo flipped his helmet off like he's done this before. He looked so cool doing it.

He went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts in Tampa and was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts.

He also earned high praise from head coach Arthur Smith during a segment of The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN.

“He's awesome,” Smith said. “Younghoe, he's made so many clutch kicks over the last couple of years. I love his whole demeanor… it's a tough job. You're sitting there on the sideline. Your one shot gets magnified, and it takes a special mindset, and every specialist I've worked with has been unique. You let them be themselves… Koo's got this confidence, and it's real.”
