Kyle Pitts starred after the NFL’s return to Tottenham Hotspur, when the Atlanta Falcons capitalized on a dominant first half to beat the New York Jets 27-20.
Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has thrown 342 yards and two goals en route to Atlanta’s second win this season. The dominant first half was enough for Arthur Smith’s side to fend off signs of a Jets strike back.
Meanwhile, rookie quarterback Zach Wilson struggled to build on his first-ever win against the Tennessee Titans last time, finishing 19 out of 32 for 192 yards and one interception as the Jets managed just 230 yards offensively compared to 450 for the Falcons.
The Jets, they say, were still back in New Jersey during the first half, which was dominated by the Falcons as they slammed their attack through the red-hot Cordarrell Patterson before hitting a 20-3 cushion break thanks to Yanghou Ku’s field goals in the end of the period – Pitts’ first touchdown in the NFL and another from his tight end teammate Hayden Hirst.
Wilson endured a tough opening as he continued with a quick triple hit that included a snatch, throwing his ninth interception of the season, Jaylynn Hawkins facing a pass destined for Keelan Cole.

Ty Johnson gave the Jets hope when he ran one yard touchdown in the first series of the second half, before the Falcons shot themselves in the leg with a lost dash deep in Jets territory in their efforts to once again increase their lead.
Whispers of another potential failure for the Falcons began to creep in as Michael Carter’s two-yard touchdown run and Jamison Crowder’s two-point interception reduced the deficit to 20-17 seven minutes before the game.
But Atlanta kept her composure, marching down another chunk, courtesy of Ryan and Pitts, to bring daylight between herself and the Jets through Mike Davis’s touchdown.
