Koo, a one-time Pro Bowler, missed two field goals in the team\u2019s 29-21 loss to the Washington Commanders. He was 4-of-6 on field goal attempts in five games with the Giants.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Koo also suffered an inexplicable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/giants-kicker-younghoe-koo-offers-bizarre-explanation-botched-field-goal-attempt-loss-patriots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">viral moment against<\/a> the New England Patriots three weeks ago when his foot got caught in the turf. The result was a botched attempt and a turnover on downs for the Giants amid a blowout loss.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was approaching the ball and, cold weather, the ball kind of slipped out at the bottom so it was moving,&#8221; Koo said, via the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/12\/01\/sports\/giants-younghoe-koo-botches-field-goal-attempt-in-extraordinary-fashion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">New York Post.<\/a>\u00a0&#8220;I wasn\u2019t able to kick through the ball. The ball was moving when I was driving to it, so I just pulled up on it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jamie did a good job of catching it and putting it back, but, at that point, it was too late.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/newsletters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE SPORTS HUDDLE NEWSLETTER<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The missteps and missed field goals have been a major part of the Giants\u2019 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p>New York is 12th in yards gained and 22nd in points scored. Their defense is 29th in points allowed and 30th in yards allowed. The team has used three kickers, including Koo, Graham Gano and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/giants-release-kicker-jude-mcatamney-after-game-changing-extra-point-miss-seconds-left\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jude McAtamney<\/a>.

Should they finish with the same number of wins, it would be the fifth time since winning the Super Bowl in 201, they\u2019ve finished with four or fewer victories.
