Falcons sign Morten Andersen



The kick that won the NFC

Fantasy Alert! Fantasy Alert! OK… maybe not. But Morten Andersen has rejoined the Atlanta Falcons to handle the short field goal duties. The Falcons were understandably unhappy with their current kicker Michael Koening after missing 6 out of 8 attempted in the first two games of this season. Koenen is the punter that won the FG kicking duties by being spectacular in preseason but terrible when the games actually counted.


I’m coming to a great organization with a lot of outstanding players and coaches,” Andersen said. “I plan on helping them continue to build on the success they’ve already had this season and also help out Michael [Koenen] in any way I can.

If Andersen can remain on the roster until next season, he will surpass George Blanda as the oldest person ever in the NFL, which Andersen stated was his goal. No word on whether Koenen has been sharpening his knives today.
