Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
I’m writing today’s newsletter from Cincinnati. There’s no NFL game here this weekend, but my brother’s wedding is being held here on Saturday, and as the best man, I thought I should probably show up.
It’s kind of fitting that I’m in Ohio because that’s where last night’s game was played with the Browns beating the Steelers 29-17.

Watching their offense is depressing. The less you watch, the happier you’ll be in life.
Anyway, we’ll be recapping the Browns’ win today, plus taking a look at the company that is now sponsoring the Super Bowl halftime show.

If you missed the game, here’s a quick rehash of what happened and what they talked about on the podcast:
- Browns’ balanced offense smashes Steelers. Heading into Week 3, the Browns led the NFL in rushing and they showed the Steelers why on Thursday night. The Browns totaled 171 yards on the ground with 123 of those coming from Nick Chubb, who averaged 4.9 yards per carry on 23 rushes. A 36-yard run by Chubb in the first quarter set up Cleveland’s first touchdown. The problem for the Steelers is that they couldn’t go all-in to stop the run, because Jacoby Brissett actually did a good job throwing the ball, totaling 220 pass yards and two touchdowns.
