When Atlanta set its offseason sights on a four-time Pro Bowler with seven 4,000-yard passing seasons to his name, the list of potential beneficiaries ran quite long; one of them, in fact, could be found running through the field’s middle. Infinitely-talented, and with plenty to offer in his new, favorable situation, Kyle Pitts wasted no time on Thursday Night Football, locating a seam within the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ zone, and turning it into an opening-drive, 32-yard reception. A sure beneficiary of his teammate’s 509-yard passing game — just NFL history’s 25th-ever 500-yard performance — “The Unicorn” made his presence through seven catches (on eight targets) for 88 yards, helping guide a 36-30 first-place-claiming win on Oct. 3, 2024.
