While the Falcons were on the winning side of the equation in this divisional matchup, a noticeable absentee on the stat sheet was tight end Kyle Pitts. Despite three targets in Week 4, Pitts was held without a catch for the game, continuing what has been a quiet start to his season. 

Heading into the season, there was optimism that Pitts would take a step in his development and live up to his first-round draft billing when he was the No. 4 overall selection in 2021.
