Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images Younghoe Koo kicked a career-long 58-yard field goal with two seconds left as the Atlanta Falcons beat the visiting New Orleans Saints 26-24 on Sunday.
Trailing 24-23 with 29 seconds left, the Falcons advanced to the Saints’ 40-yard line after a defensive pass interference call. After three incompletions by Kirk Cousins, Koo booted the game-winner. He went 4-for-4 on field goal attempts, also hitting from 53, 44 and 42 yards.
Kirk Cousins threw for 238 yards and an interception while Tyler Allgeier ran for 60 yards for the Falcons (2-2), who won despite not scoring an offensive touchdown.
Derek Carr completed 28 of 36 passes for 239 yards and an interception for New Orleans (2-2), which dropped its second straight. Alvin Kamara ran for a game-high 77 yards and a rushing touchdown. Taysom Hill added a pair of rushing scores for the Saints before leaving with an abdominal injury.
Leading 17-14 at halftime, Atlanta tacked on Koo’s 44-yarder with 6:46 remaining in the third. The Saints responded with a 10-play, 50-yard drive that was stamped with Blake Grupe’s 43-yard field goal with 1:03 left in the quarter.
The Falcons then advanced to the Saints’ 19-yard line, but an offensive holding and a sack forced a field goal attempt, as Koo knocked through his third field goal — a 42-yarder — with 10:09 left in the game.
Trailing 23-17, New Orleans had first-and-goal from the Atlanta 5, but the Falcons’ defense forced a turnover on downs with 4:01 remaining. After an Atlanta punt, the Saints drove 42 yards in 2:28, resulting in Kamara’s 1-yard rushing score with one minute left.
Atlanta opened the scoring when Bradley Pinion’s punt was muffed into the end zone by New Orleans’ Rashid Shaheed. After calling for a fair catch on his own 3, Shaheed couldn’t corral the ball and Atlanta’s KhaDarel Hodge fell on it for the score with 11:13 left in the first.
New Orleans answered with a nine-play, 70-yard scoring drive that was stamped with Hill’s 2-yard scoring run at the 6:39 mark of the first.
After Adebo intercepted Cousins on the next possession, the Saints drove 53 yards on 11 plays, taking the lead with Hill’s second rushing touchdown, a 5-yarder, to cap a six-minute drive. Atlanta cut the deficit to 14-10 with Koo’s 53-yard field goal at the 9:57 mark of the second quarter.
The Falcons reclaimed the lead as Matthew Judon deflected Carr’s pass, which Troy Anderson returned for a 47-yard pick-six.

Hannah Green wins her 2nd HSBC Women's World Championship
Aug 21, 2025; Mississauga, Ontario, CAN; Hannah Green plays her tee shot at the third hole during first round play at the CPKC Women’s Open golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Australia’s Hannah Green held off Auston Kim on Sunday to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore for the second time.
Green, the 2024 champion, balanced three birdies and three bogeys on an eventful back nine to finish with a 3-under 69 and a final score of 14-under at Sentosa Golf Club. The 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner tapped in for bogey at the 18th for her seventh LPGA Tour title.
“When I did win Singapore two years ago, I went on to win two other tournaments that season and pretty much had my best season on tour,” said Green, 29. “So having a win so early in the season gives me a bit more flexibility with the tournaments that I can play. So I’m hoping that this puts me in good stead for the rest of the year.”
Green was at 16-under after birdies at the first, 11th and 13th holes and an eagle at the par-5 eighth hole. Her birdie at the par-3 15th helped her survive a bogey-bogey finish.
“I knew that I had enough of a lead to be able to get away with making mistakes coming down the stretch. But I think 15 was the real turning point,” she said.
First- and second-round leader Kim nearly chased down her first title, matching the low round of the day with a 67 to finish one shot behind Green in the 72-hole, no-cut tournament.
Kim carded six birdies and an eagle at No. 8, but a bogey at the par-3 15th proved costly for the 25-year-old American.
“Overall, I think it was a really solid week,” Kim said. “A great way to start the year. I hit a lot of bad shots but I also hit a lot of good ones, and it was really confidence boosting. I hit all these bad shots, and I didn’t feel like I had anything chose to my A game, but I was still able it pull off a result like this and play some really solid golf.”
Australia’s Minjee Lee (72 on Sunday), Angel Yin (71) and France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) tied for third place at 11-under with South Korea’s Haeran Ryu (72) another shot back in solo sixth.
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand finished with a 73 and tied for 31st at 2-under, one shot behind defending champion Lydia Ko (72) of New Zealand.

Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol received a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season, the team announced Sunday.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, which holds an option for the 2029 season.
“As I’ve gotten to know Oli, I’ve seen someone who cares about this organization and knows what has made the Cardinals special over time — and who understands that for us to get where we need to go, we must compete relentlessly to set new standards in everything that we do,” president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said.
“He is invested in the progress of our young core and is unafraid to challenge himself and to help those around him grow. I am energized to continue working with him towards the on-field success that we expect and that our fans deserve.”
Marmol, 39, has guided the Cardinals to a 325-323 record during his four seasons as the skipper. He led St. Louis to the National League Central title in 2022 before the team fell in the wild-card series to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Last season, the Cardinals posted a 78-84 record to finish in fourth place in the NL Central.
Marmol was a coach with St. Louis from 2017-21 under previous managers Mike Shildt and Mike Matheny.
