Kyle Pitts has been breaking Atlanta Falcons records for the past couple of weeks. And on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, he hit an NFL milestone, becoming the first rookie tight end in 60 years to top 1,000 yards.
Pitts accomplished this on a 61-yard play where he caught a pass from Matt Ryan over the middle, turned upfield and ran past two defenders to help set up a second-quarter touchdown. On the play, Pitts not only eclipsed 1,000 yards, he also became the Atlanta Falcons' all-time leading rookie receiver, breaking a decade-old record held by Julio Jones.
