Kyle Pitts is special. He came into this season with the highest of expectations, after being drafted as the highest tight end in NFL history, and thus far he is living up to them.

With his electric 61-yard catch and run late in the first half, Pitts broke Julio Jones’ franchise record for most receiving yards in a single season by a rookie. He is the first Falcons rookie ever to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards in a season.
