Kirk Cousins finds Kyle Pitts for 1st TD pass with Falcons

Kirk Cousins' first game with the Atlanta Falcons didn't start off particularly well. He had an interception on his second series and a few other errant passes. But before the end of the first half, he made a big play with someone who has been one of his favorite practice targets: tight end Kyle Pitts.

"HEY KIRK I'M OPEN!!!"

After a strip-sack by Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher TJ Watt was called back due to an offsides call, Cousins found an open Pitts in the end zone for his first touchdown pass with the Falcons, a 12-yard completion.
