Kyle Pitts was so open on his first TD catch from Kirk Cousins that he literally waved his arms multiple times

Even while older, Kirk Cousins should be exactly what the Atlanta Falcons ordered at quarterback. He represents a signal-caller who can actually go through his reads and utilize the Falcons’ gifted arsenal of weapons properly, like tight end Kyle Pitts. Don’t underestimate what that can do for Atlanta in the NFC.

After a somewhat uneven first-half-start to his Atlanta career in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cousins eventually found a way to connect with Pitts in the end zone.

The catch is that Pitts was so open he had time to wave his arms for multiple seconds before Cousins circled back around to him, standing alone in the end zone without a defender in sight.

Uh, guys aren’t usually THIS open in the NFL:

 

If this is a sign that Cousins and Pitts will mesh well together, then Falcons fans should be over the moon. As they build quality chemistry with one another, I have a feeling Cousins will find an open Pitts a lot sooner and in even more dangerous places on the field in the near future.
