Kyle Pitts Faces Tough Passing Game Outlook With Cooper Rush At Helm

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts enters Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers facing low passing-game expectations with Cooper Rush making his second consecutive start at quarterback. With Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. sidelined, the Falcons' aerial attack struggled mightily in Week 1, as Pitts and Drake London combined for just 2 catches and 29 yards. While the matchup against Carolina is easier on paper, confidence in the passing game remains low.
