Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
We usually start things off on Tuesday by recapping what happened on “Monday Night Football,” but that game was a blowout, so instead we’re going to start things off by honoring the 10th anniversary of the greatest play in NFL history: the ‘butt fumble’.

By the way, the rest of this week is going to be a little different around here. We won’t have a newsletter on Thanksgiving Day, so the next time you’ll hear from me after today will be Friday. Cody Benjamin will be manning the newsletter tomorrow so that I can get an early start on my Thanksgiving wine drinking.
As always, here’s your weekly reminder to tell all your friends — and everyone you hang out with at Thanksgiving — to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. To get them to sign up, all you have to do is click here and then share this link with them. A Pick Six subscription makes an excellent — and also inexpensive — holiday gift.

Following the game, Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and I spent 35 minutes talking about the game, plus we also dissected the NFC playoff picture. Here are three key things from the game that we covered during the pod:
- The 49ers offense put on a show in Mexico. The 49ers have so many offensive weapons that sometimes it feels like there’s no way they could utilize them all, but they definitely managed to utilize them all against the Cardinals.
