"And Kyle Pitts has justifiably gotten recognition for the absurd game he had against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Having Zac Robinson draw up plays that gave him a shot downfield helped, as did a super sharp game from Kirk Cousins, who delivered on-target throws throughout. All that said, Pitts had to get open, Pitts had to reel in catches in traffic, and Pitts had to make things happen after the catch, and he did."
"His 166 yards were the most in Falcons franchise history for a tight end-breaking his own record of 163 from 2021-and a top 40 number all-time among tight ends in NFL history. His three touchdowns were easily a personal record and tied Alge Crumpler for the Falcons single game record at the position. His 11th receptions were the third-highest single game total for a Falcons tight end, behind Tony Gonzalez twice."
Kyle Pitts delivered a historically dominant performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, showcasing downfield speed, contested-catch ability, and after-the-catch production. Zac Robinson’s play designs and Kirk Cousins’ accurate throws aided the performance, but Pitts repeatedly beat coverage and created yards on his own. He compiled 166 receiving yards, a Falcons tight end record, three touchdowns tying the team single-game mark, and 11 receptions, a near-Franchise high behind Tony Gonzalez. Pitts has combined elite game-level explosiveness with a season of strong production, ranking second among tight ends in receiving yards behind Arizona’s Trey McBride.
