Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
If the newsletter is only 40% coherent today, it’s because I’m still trying to process everything that happened in the NFL on Sunday. I mean, the Browns went full Browns and as we all know, no one should ever go full Browns. The only upside for the Browns is that no one in the AFC North is laughing at them because the entire division went full Browns: The Ravens blew a 35-14 lead in the fourth quarter, the Bengals let someone named Cooper Rush beat them and the Steelers‘ offense set football back 75 years with its performance against the Patriots.
Anyway, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover 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. Also, here’s another reminder for you: There are TWO Monday games tonight, so please plan your day accordingly (They kick off at 7:15 p.m. ET and 8:30 p.m. ET).
1. Today’s show: Week 2 winners and losers, plus full recap
It’s Monday, which can only mean one thing: I stayed up until 3 a.m. last night recording a podcast with Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson that touched on everything you need to know about Week 2, and let me just say, it’s probably for the best that you listen. We covered all 13 games from Sunday, which means we likely spent some time talking about your favorite team.
One thing we do every week is hand out our weekly winners and losers from Sunday’s action. Here’s a look at who made our list.
Ryan Wilson
- Winner: Tyreek Hill. Not only did Hill have a monster game (11 catches for 190 yards and two touchdowns), but all of a sudden, he now doesn’t look so crazy for spending half his offseason on his podcast pumping up Tua Tagovailoa. At one point during the offseason, Hill compared Tua to Patrick Mahomes and although Tua might not be quite at Mahomes’ level yet, he took one step closer with a six-touchdown game against the Ravens.
- Loser: Brownie the elf. Wilson believes that the elf was a “stupid thing to put at midfield” and that there was no way the Browns were going to win with an elf at the 50-yard line. Based on how the Browns’ game played out — they blew a 30-17 lead over the final 90 seconds — it appears the curse of the elf is real.
Will Brinson
- Winner: Tom…
