Micah Parsons calls for more targets for Kyle Pitts during Falcons-Saints game

Summary

During the Atlanta Falcons' ongoing Monday night matchup against the New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers linebacker Micah Parsons voiced his support for tight end Kyle Pitts. Although Pitts managed to catch two passes for 19 yards before halftime, his overall usage has been limited this season. Before the game, he had recorded only two receptions for 20 yards in three games. Parsons, currently on the physically unable to perform list, posted on X, urging for Pitts to receive more targets. The Falcons built a 24-7 halftime lead despite Pitts' minimal involvement, relying heavily on running back Bijan Robinson and receiver Drake London to generate offense.
