THE MODERATOR: Questions for Kyle.
Q. Where is the football going?
KYLE PITTS: Probably go in my basement, in a case.
Q. First NFL touchdown...
KYLE PITTS: It was just a play. I was manned up at the end. I have been waiting on that all week. Like I said, man on him, I made the play.
Q. To get the last drive started, walk us through that play.
KYLE PITTS: Just was like a play-action play. Matt took a chance on me and threw the ball down the field.
Q. Matt was crediting you with staying ready, learning. How has that been for you, seeing big-time results today?
KYLE PITTS: Yeah, that's just something he's been preaching, staying the course every day, day by day, try to be the best player I can be. The preparation will come out during the game.
Q. How does it feel to put one of these games together?
KYLE PITTS: It definitely is exciting for myself and the team. The team, we have is a great team. We're going to get things rolling.
Q. With Calvin and Russell out, needing somebody to step forward, how do you feel it was you today?
KYLE PITTS: I'm pretty blessed. I'll be ready for those other guys to come back.
Q. Seemed like you had a big group over there that you went and said hi to up in the stands after the game. Who all was there?
KYLE PITTS: My family, mom, dad, sister, girlfriend and my cousin.
Q. That's a lot of people to come across an ocean. What does that mean to have them here and make your first touchdown in front of that group?
KYLE PITTS: It means a lot. That's my support system. To be able to do that in front of them, even better for myself.
Q. Is there kind of a sense of relief to get that big first game out of the way, the first touchdown on the boards?
KYLE PITTS: Yeah, I would say it's a relief just to be able to start there, know that it can go higher from here. Reset next weekend, go to Miami and have a better game.
Q. (No microphone.)
KYLE PITTS: I've seen it on tape. Sometimes on tape... Stayed true to it. I was pretty excited when they came out like that.
Q. What do you make of the experience, the UK fans?
KYLE PITTS: It was definitely a great environment, great time. Got to go out and see the town, eat some different food, see some different places. It was a great time.
Q. Obviously early in your rookie season, how different was the preparation for you for a game like this versus a regular one?
KYLE PITTS: Just having to get off that flight and then going to practice, staying the course, sharpen our details in practice, being able to go out and perform the best we can.
