As far as coincidences go, Kyle Pitts has a pretty crazy one going on.

You might call it a streak, but whatever it is, the Atlanta Falcons' tight end is on a bizarre run.

This is the scoop:

• In 2021, Pitts caught 1 touchdown.
• In 2022, Pitts caught 2 touchdowns.
• In 2023, Pitts caught 3 touchdowns.
• In 2024, Pitts caught 4 touchdowns.
• In 2025, Pitts caught 5 touchdowns.

It's quite fluky, really.

Before this season, Pitts' season-high in catches was the 68 he had as a rookie, but that only turned into a single touchdown.

He then went 28 catches, 53 catches and 47 catches in three years of regression.

This season, Pitts had a career-high 82 catches, getting 870 yards and five scores.

Pitts' true value will have to be determined by the rest of the NFL. He's a free agent this offseason.

The Falcons could consider franchise-tagging him, or they could sign him to an extension.

But just as likely is another team ending up with Pitts to give him a change of scenery and a fresh start.

At least whoever signs him knows he's going to get six touchdowns next season.
