The Atlanta Falcons are currently taking on the Buffalo Bills in an interesting Week 17 matchup. Buffalo currently leads the Falcons 14-12 near halftime.

Although there haven't been many bright spots this season for the Falcons, Kyle Pitts has been incredible for them this year and he was certainly worth the first-round pick that they decided to use on him last season. It took over 60 years, but there is finally a rookie tight end over 1,000 yards for the first time since Mike Ditka. Kyle Pitts has passed that mark on Sunday.

Pitts has been incredible this season as he has over 1,000 yards now with 64 receptions and one touchdown. Once the Falcons get back to being a team that they can be, he's going to be even better because quite frankly, the Falcons are not that great of a team at the moment. There are clearly areas that the Falcons are going to need to improve on during the offseason and the draft. It will be interesting to see what they can do with Pitts in the future because there is a good chance that there's going to be a new quarterback in Atlanta.

The Falcons didn't play great this season, but they certainly played better than many expected them to. If they could walk away with a victory against a good Bills team, it will give them some confidence heading into the offseason because they can realize now that they can compete with some of the best teams in the NFL.
