Atlanta Fan? You Need to See What Kyle Pitts Did After That 5-Yard TD

Kyle Pitts Sr. gave the Falcons a 19-14 lead over the San Francisco 49ers in the third quarter of their Week 7 matchup. But it wasn’t only the 5-yard touchdown catch that had everyone talking. After hauling in Michael Penix’s throw, Pitts and 49ers safety Malik Mustapha got tangled up, colliding hard with a woman holding a parabolic microphone right near the end zone boundary.

Beyond the Touchdown: A Class Act On The Sideline

The impact was jarring, knocking the mic operator right to the turf. But before any celebration, before anyone even thought about the score, Pitts and his teammate Drake London were immediately there, checking on her. Seriously, how often do you see that? It wasn’t just them, either. Quarterback Penix and Austin Hooper, among other Falcons players, gathered around, making sure she was alright. That’s pure class right there, folks. Luckily, after a quick check, she appeared to be unhurt. Only then, once the immediate danger was clear, did Pitts allow himself to spike the ball and celebrate that huge score.

Pitts and Penix: Dominating the Stat Sheet

That touchdown grab wasn’t just a big moment in the game, it was Pitts’ fourth TD of the season. He’s been putting in work, and in this game alone he’s racked up 5 receptions for 22 yards. That brings his season totals to 20 catches for 191 yards. Think about that for a second. And Penix? The guy is dealing. He’s thrown for 2 touchdowns against the 49ers already, completing 22 of 27 passes for 171 yards through just three quarters. With 5 starts under his belt, he’s already tossed 8 TD passes this season. That’s the kind of production that keeps an offense rolling.

It’s moments like these, both the clutch plays and the genuine sportsmanship, that really define a team’s character. Pitts and Penix are showing up big when it counts, and we’ll be watching to see how this unfolds as the Falcons continue their grind.
