On the defensive side of the ball, Sam Roberts was the highest graded defender for either team, receiving an 89.7. Pass rusher Arnold Ebiketie (78.4), safety Xavier Watts (68.9), safety Jessie Bates (67.7) and nose tackle LaCale London (66.2) round out the top five for Atlanta’s defense.

Pitts joins Tony Gonzalez, Alge Crumpler, and Jim Mitchell as the only tight ends in Falcons history to reach the 3,000-yard mark for the Falcons. Kyle Pitts has been one of the true bright spots of a mostly disjointed effort from the Atlanta offense.

London has caught 38 passes on 63 targets for a team-high 469 yards and two scores. He averages 78.2 yards per game. Time: 1 p.m. ET
