Miami Dolphins (1-6) – Atlanta Falcons (3-3) : 28-30
At 10 minutes from the end, Atlanta led quietly by 13 points, in a game that seemed to be dominated quite easily. Except that the Falcons are the Falcons, and who better than them to undergo a comeback. The Dolphins registered two touchdowns in quick succession to take the advantage 2 minutes from the end of the game. But Brian Flores having used all his time out, Atlanta, thanks to a great Kyle Pitts (7 rec, 163 yards), positioned himself for a field goal of the victory of 36 yards, perfectly concluded by Younghoe Koo.

However, there was better at Tua Tagovailoa (32/40, 291 yards, 4 TD, 2 INT). The pitcher looked good, finding four different targets for his four touchdown passes. Still remains to erase his two interceptions, including a horrible reading on the second. For once, he had support from his running game, albeit less. Myles Gaskin, intermittently, seemed able to move Miami forward on the ground.
National Kyle Pitts Day
In front, the Falcons can take a breath, and say thank you to Kyle Pitts. The rookie celebrated National Tight Ends Day as it should, with the best game of his young career. Matt Ryan (25/40, 336 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT), did not hesitate to solicit him, rightly. In difficult situations, especially during the last drive, Pitts presented himself as the savior of the nation, with big receptions, despite the presence of players like Jevon Holland and Xavien Howard on his back.

This game is perhaps the revival for Atlanta, which will address several meetings against direct opponents, such as Carolina or New Orleans. With the rise of Kyle Pitts, and the rebirth of Cordarelle Patterson, the Falcons’ offense can worry many teams, and if the defense gets up to speed, Atlanta can do great things. It remains to stop being scared at the end of the match.
The Dolphins continue their descent into hell. They believed in it until the end, and Tua Tagovailoa has shown some progress, but Miami is still far from the mark. With 6 consecutive defeats, it’s hard to know how long Brian Flores will be able to keep his seat.
