Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
Usually, this is the part where I hype you up for tonight’s game, but I’m not sure any amount of hype is going to get you excited to watch the Commanders play the Bears.

- Surprisingly, the former NFL QB believes the league is overprotecting its quarterbacks with the roughing the passer rule that’s currently in place. “It’s odd to me that we keep trying to implement rules [to protect quarterbacks], because what we’re doing is we’re putting more defensive players at risk,” Quinn said.
- Quinn specifically pointed to the Chris Jones‘ sack against the Raiders as a roughing the…
