Kyle Pitts finally broke out in Week 3 after putting up four catches for 38 yards in the previous two games combined, totaling five receptions for 87 yards in Atlanta’s 27-23 victory over Seattle on Sunday.
The Falcons held on and put together an encouraging effort overall, if an uneven one. If you expected the Falcons to be a playoff-caliber team this year, their uneven effort against the Seahawks probably frustrated you.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith faced questions surrounding the usage of tight end Kyle Pitts all week. By all accounts, the questions - which could easily be viewed as criticisms - were well-deserved. Unfazed, Smith decided to quiet the questions early and often in Atlanta's 27-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.
The Falcons have their first win of the 2022 season. Grady Jarrett came up with a sack of Geno Smith on the first snap after the two minute warning to set up a long fourth down and Smith’s desperate heave on that play was picked off by safety Richie Grant.

It was a close one and a roller coaster, but Atlanta emerges victorious. Atlanta figured to be able to win against this Seattle team, and they did. It just took some heartburn and a ride on the traditional Atlanta Falcons Roller Coaster (TM) to get there.
A similar incident happened just Saturday in Seattle. A drone sighting grounded the Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks game for a good chunk of time during the late fourth quarter.

The Atlanta Falcons (0-2) will cap off a two-game, week-long road trip when they battle with the Seattle Seahawks (1-1) at Lumen Field. Perhaps the most notable player active for the Falcons is second-year receiver Frank Darby, who was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday.
Do you know the only thing worse than an 0-2 start? An 0-3 one. The new season has only just begun and the Falcons are already needing to dig themselves out of a hole if they wish to be in any sort of postseason contention.
The Falcons should be able to get the offense rolling, but you do have to worry about Geno Smith lighting it up again. Well, last week’s reason to feel confident about the Rams game was a bust.
The Falcons have undergone a makeover in recent seasons with new players manning several positions as the regime gets their ‘guys’ into the fold, most notably at the linebacker position. Foye Oluokun signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Jaguars in free agency, while Deion Jones’ future remains unclear after being placed on the IR.

Pitts, who was the No. 4 overall pick in last year’s draft, had 2 catches for 19 yards for the second straight week. He was only targeted three times in the game.
The depth in the Falcons’ running game will be tested somewhat over the next several weeks.
