Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
I’ll be honest, I wanted to postpone today’s newsletter until Thursday because that’s how much time I need to process EVERYTHING that happened over the weekend. I mean, the Seahawks are in first in the NFC West even though they haven’t played a game yet, the Texans are somehow tied for first in the AFC South and I’m about to watch the Bengals-Steelers game again because I still have no idea what happened there. The Packers looked like the worst team in the NFL, the Browns finally won an opener and the Cowboys look like a team that might go 0-17.
Basically, there’s a lot to go over today, so let’s get to the rundown.
As always, here’s your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. To get your friends to sign up, all you have to do is click here and then share this link with them.

- Winner: Mike Tomlin. The man bought new Nikes for the entire team last week and then they responded by winning one of the craziest games in recent NFL history.
- Loser: Kyle Shananan and Trey Lance. Shanahan might already be regretting his decision to start Lance over Jimmy Garoppolo. The 49ers offense struggled and Lance was a disaster in crunch time, going 4-for-13 for 41 yards and an interception in the fourth quarter.
Will Brinson
- Winner: Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs quarterback is basically unstoppable in Week 1. Thanks to Kansaas City’s win over the Cardinals, Mahomes is now 5-0 in Week 1 and the Chiefs have averaged 37.8 points per game in those wins. In those five games, Mahomes has thrown 18 touchdown passes and zero interceptions, including FIVE on Sunday. He clearly doesn’t seem to be missing Tyreek Hill.
- Loser: Cowboys. Things could not have gone much worse for the Cowboys on…
