After a slow start, the Falcons offense kicked it to another gear as the first half came to a close. Kirk Cousins methodically picked apart the Steelers defense, aided by a key catch from Ray-Ray McCloud, and capped off the drive by finding a wide-open Kyle Pitts for Atlanta's first touchdown of the season.

Pitts has two catches for 18 yards and a touchdown in the first half. Cousins has passed for 136 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Check out the play below, as shared by the team's Twitter account:
