Kyle Pitts breaks franchise record, has huge game for Atlanta Falcons

Kyle Pitts had a huge game on Sunday in the Atlanta Falcons’ win over the Miami Dolphins, and along the way, he set a franchise record.

Pitts’ 163 receiving yards, on 7 catches, broke the Falcons’ franchise record for a tight end. He also has 471 yards in his first 6 games, the most by any tight end in the last 50 years. The rookie tight end made several big plays on the game-deciding drive that set up Younghoe Koo’s game-winning field goal and a 30-28 victory.

One of those plays came on a 28-yard sideline route to setup Koo’s kick.
