The other fantasy note is that Cordarrelle Patterson is playing a higher percentage of the running back snaps after last week's three-touchdown performance. The Pitts statline is part of an Atlanta plan that has revolved around using the tight ends to attack the Jets defense rather than a significant role change for Pitts that I have noticed. Even against Atlanta, the Jets run game isn't close to sustaining enough to make up for that. His interception probably fit both of those categories. His throws seem maybe a bit late, and his ball placement hasn't been great. Tom Gower: Falcons up 20-3 at the half, and the score accurately reflects the relative effectiveness of the two teams. Sure, it is against the Jets and taking place in London, but Pitts could be in line for a monster game here. There have been some big chunk plays, and it's clear that Ryan already trusts him. With Calvin Ridley out, Pitts has been Matt Ryan's most-targeted receiver through three drives and has been quite productive already, catching five passes for 58 yards, one touchdown, and three other first downs. New York Jets 20 "at" Atlanta Falcons 27 (London)Ĭarl Yedor: Today might be Kyle Pitts' welcome-to-the-NFL game for people not following the Falcons particularly closely. (If you are a Seahawks or Patriots fan, you are probably in luck if you are a Lions fan, not so much.) We have no intention of adding new authors solely to cover every game on a given Sunday, nor will we watch a different game from the ones that we're personally interested in watching just to ensure that Audibles covers every game. We watch the games that we, as fans, are interested in watching, so your favorite team's game might not be covered to your fullest desires or even at all. That means we aren't going to cover every game, or every important play.
While these emails are generally written with Audibles in mind, they do not represent a standard review of all the games each week. By its nature, it can be disjointed and dissimilar to the other articles on the site. On Monday, we compile a digest of those emails and produce this feature. We share information about the games that the rest of the group might not be watching, ask questions, and keep everyone else informed about which games they might want to tune into (if they can). Each Sunday, the FO staff sends around emails about the games that each of us are watching.
