Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!If you're a fan or a fan, I'd probably just go ahead and skip today's newsletter because it's just going to make you even sadder about your team than you already are. The only thing worse than getting outplayed by a guy () who was in the XFL two years ago was losing to a team (the ) that traded away its best player last week while also getting outplayed by a guy () who was in the XFL two years ago. Maybe that's a sign that we should just Trevor Williams Jersey turn this into an XFL newsletter.Anyway, the Packers and Buccaneers won't be the only two teams we talk about today, we've got a lot to cover, 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 iswith them. 1. Today's show: Week 7 winners and losers, plus full recapIt'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 7, and let me just say, it's probably for the best that you listen. We covered all 12 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 WilsonWinner: . Burrow threw for 481 yards on Sunday, which is the highest total in the NFL this year, the second-highest total of his career and third-highest total in history. The Bengals offense is nearly unstoppable when Burrow is playing his best football, and right now Francisco Cervelli Jersey , he appears to be playing his best football.Loser: .The rookie went through some growing pains on Sunday night and everyone in Pittsburgh went through those pains with him. Pickett threw three interceptions against the and the worst part for Pittsburgh is that all three interceptions came on drives where the Steelers had moved the ball inside of Miami's 25-yard line. Pickett obviously could still end up being a succe sful QB, but he has to play smarter football.Will BrinsonWinner: .The have officially taken over first place in the NFC West and a big reason for that is because Geno is playing at an MVP level. Last week, he outplayed . This week, he outplayed . If we're only counting the 2022 season, Smith looks like one of the five best quarterbacks in the NFL.Loser: Aaron Rodgers.It might be time for Rodgers to take his teammates on an ayahuasca retreat, because whatever Green Bay is doing right now, it's not working.John BreechWinner: . The running back is doing his best to make the regret the fact that they declined the fifth-year option on his rookie deal. Jacobs rushed for 143 yards on Sunday and has now topped the 140-yard mark in THREE straight games. I capitalized three because only THREE running backs have accomplished that feat over the past 12 years (, ). If Jacobs keeps running like this, he might run his way into a new contract with the Raiders.Loser: Tom Brady.I'm not sure what rock bottom is in the NFL, but only scoring three points against the Panthers has to be close. Brady is probably starting to wish that he would have stayed retired.Not only did we list our winners and losers, but we also recapped every game from Sunday. To listen to today's episode, . You can . 2. Week 7 injuries: suffers ankle injury, might be out for the seasonHopefully we won't need to have an injury roundup every week, but there were so many injuries around the NFL over the weekend that we definitely needed one for today.

The QB will be sidelined for at least the next three Steven Brault Jersey weeks after following surgery to an injured finger on his throwing hand.

Following Denver's lo s to the Jets, Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said Wilson is "trending" in the right direction to play. 3. Week 7 grades: Buccaneers get an 'F' for shocking lo s, Packers not much better against CommandersEvery week I team up with six of my colleagues here at CBSSports.com to hand out grades, and this week, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady both failed out of our imaginary football school.Here's a look at the grades from two notable games that were played Sunday
anthers 21-3 over Buccaneers ()Buccaneers takeaway: It took 23 years, but Tom Brady's career might have finally hit rock bottom. Since starting 2-0, the Buccaneers have now lost four of their past five games and a big reason for that is because the offense looks broken. Part of that is due to Brady, who threw multiple errant pa ses, but even when he Chad Kuhl Jersey was throwing accurately, his receivers couldn't hang on to anything ( dropped an easy TD pa s in the first quarter). As bad as the offense was, the defense might have been worse. The Buccaneers couldn't stop a Panthers rushing attack that just traded away its best player. Carolina steamrolled the Buccaneers defense for 173 yards on the ground. All of a sudden, it's starting to feel like the Buccaneers are going to be in a dog fight in the NFC South, a division most people thought Tampa Bay was easily going to win.Grade: FPanthers takeaway:After the Panthers traded away on Thursday, some people accused them of tanking, but no one will be making that accusation anymore after this upset win. The lo s of McCaffrey didn't seem to have any impact on the Panthers, who ran for a SEASON-HIGH 173 yards, marking the team's second-highest rushing total since the start of the 2020 season. Most of that production came from (15 carries, 118 yards) and (nine carries for 63 yards and one TD), two backs who proved to be more than capable of filling McCaffrey's shoes. The only thing more surprising than Carolina's rushing attack was the way the Panthers' defense was able to shut down Brady. The Bucs quarterback faced relentle s pre sure on a day where Tampa Bay didn't score its first points until the fourth quarter.Grade: A+Commanders 23-21 over Packers ()Packers takeaway:Over the past three weeks, the Packers offense has somehow gotten progre sively worse each game, and it might ha
