Nick Folk Released by Atlanta Falcons Following Kicking Struggles

The Atlanta Falcons released veteran kicker Nick Folk after nine games. Folk struggled through the opening stretch of the season, converting just 13 of 18 field goal attempts (72.2%) and missing a kick in each of Atlanta's past two contests. To fill his spot on the roster, the Falcons signed kicker Jake Moody, who kicked for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9.
