Why it matters: Black, selected 90th overall in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, reached the end zone for the first time as a professional after drawing camp praise in August. Kittle, a 2017 fifth-round pick taken 146th overall, used the league's annual tight end holiday to make sure the rookie marked the milestone.

What to watch: Regular-season action continues into Week 8.
