The rapport between Kirk Cousins and Kyle Pitts remains robust, as the duo connected for a five-yard touchdown late in the second quarter. The extra point attempt was blocked, resulting in the Falcons and Cardinals entering halftime tied at 16-16.

Pitts has assumed an expanded role in recent weeks, particularly in light of a knee injury sustained by WR1 Drake London.
