Falcons Sign Kicker Zane Gonzalez After Releasing Parker Romo for Costly Missed Extra Point
The Falcons replaced Parker Romo with Zane Gonzalez after Romo missed a game-tying extra point, finishing 11-for-14 on field goals this season, leading to a 24-23 loss.
- On Tuesday, the Atlanta Falcons waived kicker Parker Romo and signed veteran kicker Zane Gonzalez, a move reported by NFL Media and confirmed to ESPN.
- During Sunday's fourth quarter, Romo's miss left Atlanta trailing 24-23, and the Falcons lost 24-23 in Foxborough, Massachusetts, dropping to a 3-5 record.
- Romo's season stats show mixed results, with an 11-of-14 mark overall and a 66.7% success rate since his perfect start in the Week 2 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
- Gonzalez's limited recent NFL action informs expectations, as he has played only six recent games and was 5-of-7 on field goals with the Washington Commanders last year; `Everything is always going to be talked about, but I don't make emotional decisions`, Raheem Morris said Sunday.
- For the second time in two months, the Falcons have changed starters at kicker, waiving Parker Romo again, carrying practice-squad kickers Ben Sauls and Lenny Krieg, and eyeing Justin Tucker if needed.
