In the 291th episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles, host D. Orlando Ledbetter discusses how the Falcons needed an historic performance from rookie tight end Kyle Pitts to bail out the defense and quarterback Matt Ryan, who had a fourth-quarter fumble against the Miami Dolphins. The defense, with the aid of Ryan’s turnover, kicked away a 27-14 fourth-quarter lead. But Pitts made the big plays to get them in position for a game-winning 36-yard field goal by Younghoe Koo. It was Ryan’s 40th game-winning drive.
