When Kyle Pitts first walked the stage and held up Atlanta’s jersey at the 2021 NFL Draft, it’s likely that Falcons fans had already begun imagining the league-altering, record-book-rewriting games that might be in store. On Dec. 11, 2025, during a 29-28 primetime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, such visions came to life. Pitts, though, wasn’t without assistance; Bijan Robinson introduced himself on a video-game-like, juke-heavy 14-yard carry, followed by a 15-yard tote from Tyler Allgeier, and a 16-yarder from Kirk Cousins to Darnell Mooney. The night’s spotlight, though, often seemed to gravitate to one man, and Pitts didn’t shy away, adjusting his 6-foot-6, 250-pound frame for a touchdown — a final exclamation on what became an 11-catch, 166-yard, three-score Pantheon game, and an upset win over NFC South foes.
