Kyle Pitts had his best game of the season against the Ravens: 6 targets, 5 catches, 42 yards, 1 touchdown, and +5.7 expected points added (EPA) on his targets. EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
The touchdown came on third and goal from the 5. Atlanta led 7-6 with 2:29 left in the first half, and Michael Penix threw short over the middle to Pitts for the score and a 14-6 lead: +2.6 EPA and +6.4 points of win probability.
