The Kyle Pitts breakout game fans have been waiting for could finally be coming

National Tight Ends Day is here, and Kyle Pitts Sr. is ready to rock and roll. The holiday originated in the 49ers' 2018 tight end room, but migrated to league-wide recognition. In 2019, the holiday was born, and is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in October annually.

And during Week 6, the Atlanta Falcons' tight end has a prime opportunity to capitalize. This season, the Dolphins' defense has allowed the fifth most yards to tight ends this season, 450. Their lack of elite linebackers (rated 20th pre-season by PFF) may be a problem against Pitts' athleticism.
