3. Kyle Pitts first two big games of his career came against the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets

If there is one team that belongs in the same conversation as the Dolphins and Jets it is the Jacksonville Jaguars. It is concerning Pitts hasn’t been able to put together big games against good teams but it makes sense when you consider the talent around him. The rookie is dealing with a talent jump while being double-teamed.

Against Jacksonville Kyle Pitts is going to have his third huge game of the season. Cordarrelle Patterson is likely going to play and take some of the attention off of Pitts. There is also the fact there isn’t a good matchup for Jacksonville against Pitts and even their double teams have struggled to stop top receivers this season.

Atlanta needs Pitts to begin to produce to his potential consistently and that will start against Jacksonville.

An easy schedule is saving Atlanta’s season from being as ugly as it could be and that will be the case yet again against the Jaguars in what will be a bounceback win for the Falcons before Atlanta has to take on Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Bucs. It is a key game for Arthur Smith and Matt Ryan to steady the ship and show Atlanta is headed in the right direction.
