FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – Kyle Pitts lined up in the slot, a few yards from right tackle Kaleb McGary. The ball was snapped and instead of going out on a route, the Atlanta Falcons tight end cut inside McGary and blocked a San Francisco 49ers defender right out of the play.
It sprung running back Caleb Huntley for 16 yards, setting up an eventual Falcons touchdown. The play will not count for Pitts in any statistical category. But still, it means a lot.
