At the start of the second half, Ty Johnson entered the penalty area, giving the Jets hope, they were three points behind in a two-point conversion after Michael Carter made a touchdown.
After the pandemic forced
the cancellation of last season's international series, most of the 60,589
rowdy crowds liked the NFL's return to London, hoping to score goals to push
the game into extra time.
But Mike Davis ran for
Atlanta's third touchdown that day to make sure the Falcons didn't add another
opportunity to lose a big lead, and this season the record improved to 2-3.
This also allows rookie
Pitts to celebrate a milestone in his early career. With the Falcons missing
the first two receivers, Pitts and Cordarrelle Patterson had to bear the brunt
of the offense.
When Atlanta selected him as
the fourth overall pick, Pitts became the most drafted close-end in NFL London history. He stepped forward
and won his first NFL touchdown.
The 21-year-old was named
the star player of the game after finishing a game-high 119 yards with 9
catches. The Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, the second overall pick, was in his
position. The team failed to play well when it fell to 1-4.

Atlanta coach Arthur Smith said: "Played few important matches for us, Kyle won his one-on-one games. Improvement everyone wants to be popular after the first week but you have to see continuous. We love the player he becomes that's why Kyle is here."
Atlanta Falcons Matt Ryan
veteran quarterback added: "I've communicated Kyle I'm honored of him. I
think he's going to have a lot of this [achievement] going forward. He could be
the best player in this NFL London league.
"He has done a good job
and focused his attention and there is a lot of noise, that whether positive or
negative, which will distract you, but as a young man."
