Kyle Pitts channeled his inner David Copperfield to make an incredible circus catch.
During his squad’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Falcons tight end got open on a crossing route not far from the line of scrimmage. Quarterback Desmond Ridder targeted Pitts, but the ball was significantly behind the tight end.
That didn’t matter, since Pitts felt a little extra spicy on National Tight Ends Day. With two defenders near him, Pitts reached behind his back and somehow palmed the ball, all while barely breaking stride.

Patrick Mahomes already has over 300 yards passing and 3 TDs in Kansas City where Travis Kelce is balling out against L.A.’s defense. Plus: More late-window scores.
Jackson rushed for Baltimore’s first touchdown of the game and then threw a touchdown pass to Nelson Agholor.
Victor Wembanyama’s NBA career is going to be a lot of fun to watch. If you need proof of that, just look at all the cool things he did in the preseason, which came to an end on Friday night when he led the Spurs to a win over Steph Curry and the Warriors.
Wembanyama is going to be a problem on both ends of the court, which is something Golden State’s Andrew Wiggins learned Friday night when the Spurs rookie blocked one of his shots.
Look at how high Wembanyama is able to get to block shots. This doesn’t seem fair:

Given the success that Amazon has had with Thursday Night Football, the streaming giant wants to create an exclusive night of streaming NBA action, according to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports.
TNF is averaging 13.6 million viewers per week after Amazon agreed to pay $1 billion annually for the weekly game through 2033. The company is aiming for an NBA game package on Tuesday or Thursday nights.
What do George Kittle, Travis Kelce, and T. J. Hockenson all have in common? They’re in a celebratory mood, since their position group is getting some extra love on National Tight Ends Day.
That’s right, the most overlooked skill position group in the game is getting some well-deserved recognition for what they provide their teams. After all, would San Francisco’s run game be as effective if Kittle doesn’t selflessly block for his backs? Would Kansas City’s offense be nearly as potent without Kelce? Successful teams often don’t get by without a legitimately dangerous tight end.
Deshaun Watson missed the last two Cleveland Browns games with a shoulder injury. Many thought he would miss this week’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, as well.
However, despite carrying a “questionable” tag into the contest, Watson returned to the Browns lineup.
Deshaun Watson returned to the Cleveland Browns lineup for a game against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on October 22, 2023 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Alabama rallied for a big win at home over Tennessee in a hard-fought battle between two ranked SEC teams on Saturday.
The biggest hit of the day might have come well after the game was over, as a security guard was seen absolutely laying out some fan who wandered onto the field.
As we saw in Philadelphia a few days ago during the NLCS, running onto a field can come with some very painful consequences.
This fan in Alabama learned that lesson on Saturday, and it looked like the security guard had a fun time providing that lesson.
The Colts rolled out their alternate ‘Indiana Nights’ jerseys on Sunday against the Browns, and the dark-blue look didn’t exactly resonate with all NFL fans. If anything, it was much of the opposite, as social media quickly ramped up to provide a widespread amount of trolling after the first clip of quarterback Gardner Minshew wearing them was revealed.
The jerseys are described by Colts’ official site as, “Decades of tradition” meeting “a new, bolder look inspired by the blue and black of the Indiana night skies.
Pat McAfee has been a mainstay on ESPN’s flagship Saturday morning show College GameDay for the last two seasons.
The expectation was that the arrangement between McAfee and GameDay would continue, especially after McAfee signed a lucrative contract with ESPN earlier this year.
Chris Vannini of The Athletic ran a poll for a story on the site that revealed that 48.9% don’t like McAfee on GameDay. McAfee, referencing that poll, released a statement that casts doubt over his future with the show.
“To the 49%, I have some great news,” McAfee said in a post on X.
