Welcome to the Monday edition Ryan Braun Jersey of the Pick Six newsletter, which should actually probably be two newsletters today because there's so much to go over after a wild Sunday. There were highs ( ), there were lows (rookie quarterbacks) and then there was whatever the did. I would say they played like garbage, but that would be an insult to garbage. Tucker had more yards on one kick (66) than the Bears had on offense (47).Of course, I don't need to pile on the Bears right now, because we're going to do that later on in the newsletter. We have a lot to cover today, so let's get to the rundown, which will feature kickers, quarterbacks and our Week 3 winners and losers (Based on the fact that I've already mentioned the Bears seven times, you can probably gue s one of our losers).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 with them. Alright, let's get to the rundown. 1. Today's show: Week 3 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 3, and let me just say, it's probably for the best that you listen. We covered all 14 games from Sunday and I'll be honest, we spent way more time talking about kickers than we usually do, which is what happens when one of them breaks the record for longest field goal. One thing we do every week is hand out our weekly winners and losers from Sunday's action. For our winners this week, Wilson and Brinson decided to pick teams that play in the same city while I went with kickers because how could I not go with kickers. Ryan WilsonWinner: .No one is better at blowing games than the Chargers, but somehow, they didn't blow it against the on Sunday. Not only did Brandon Staley Jhoulys Chacin Jersey make a gutsy fourth-down call in the fourth quarter, but also out-dueled .Loser: Big Ben. I'm not sure what rock bottom is in the NFL, but might have hit it on Sunday. Not only did the lose, but Wilson, who is a noted Steelers homer, wants to see him benched. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora also thinks the Steelers should consider benching Big Ben and you can check out his .Will BrinsonWinner: .The Rams' decision to trade for is looking smarter every week. With Stafford rolling, the Rams were able to outgun the defending champion , and as long as everyone stays healthy, the Rams might be the best team in the NFC. Loser: Bears.In one of the most inept offensive performances in NFL history, the Bears totaled just 47 yards, which includes exactly ONE NET PASSING YARD. That is not a typo. The Bears finished with one pa sing yard. The Bears have a lot of offensive questions after three weeks and no one seems to have the answers.John BreechWinner: Justin Tucker/kickers.It was a banner week for kickers and none of them had a bigger day than Justin Tucker. The kicker set the NFL record for longest field goal by hitting an improbable 66-yard kick against the . Tucker now has two game-winning field goals in his career of 60 yards or more and they both came against the Lions. I'm gue sing he's no longer welcome in Detroit. Loser: .The didn't have on Sunday and the Seahawks still managed to find a way to lose. The Seahawks' biggest problem is that they continue to Christian Yelich Jersey disappear in the second half. This team has scored ZERO points in the third quarter this season. I'm not sure what Pete Carroll says at halftime, but he might want to hire someone to write his future halftime speeches, because his current ones are not working.Not only did we list our winners and losers, but we also recapped every game from Sunday. To listen to today's episode -- and to subscribe to the best daily NFL podcast out there -- . 2. Week 3 grades: get an 'A' for torching WashingtonEvery week I team up with six of my colleagues here at CBSSports.com to hand out grades, and this week, was our valedictorian. Here's a look at the grades from two notable games that were played Sunday:Bills 43-21 over Football Team ()Washington takeaway:Washington is only going to go as far as its defense takes it this season and right now, it doesn't look like that's going to be very far. The Football Team's defense basically looked helple s against a Bills offense that rolled up nearly 500 yards. The only thing worse than Washington's defensive performance was its offensive performance. The Football Team turned the ball over on two of their first three po se sions and things only got worse from there.Grade: D-Bills takeaway:If anyone in Buffalo was worried about after watching him struggle through the first two weeks of the season, they're probably not worried much anymore after Milwaukee Brewers Hats watching him dice up Washington. After struggling through the first two weeks of the season, Allen rebounded with a huge a game, throwing for 358 yards and totaling five touchdowns (four pa s, one rush), which tied a career-high.Grade: A 26-0 over ()Jets takeaway:The Jets are a total disaster right now. After starting the season 0-2, it didn't seem like they could get any worse this week, but somehow, they managed to get worse. They can't run the ball (they finished with 43 yards), they can't throw the ball ( threw two picks) and they can't protect their quarterback (The offensive line gave up five sacks). Also, their defense is basically set up to fail because it's on the field all the time. Did I mention that this team is a disaster? I did? OK, I thought I did, but I also thought I should mention it again just to emphasize how much of a Corey Knebel Jersey disaster they are. Grade:FBroncos takeaway:The Broncos were just one of two teams to earn an 'A+' this week and a big reason for that is because their defense was so dominant. Most importantly, the Broncos didn't give up a single point, marking just the third time over the past 15 years that Denver has pitched a shutout. This game also marked the first time since 2009 that Denver has held an opponent under 200 yards in consecutive weeks. This defense looks dominant and if the offense continues to get better, Denver should be a playoff contender this year. Grade:A+As for the other 24 grades we . 3. Rookie quarterbacks off to ugly startThe rookie quarterback cla s received a lot of hype heading into the 2021 season, but after three weeks, they definitely aren't living up to it. Actually, that's an understatement. Through three weeks, the rookie cla s has been a total disaster.Rookie quarterbacks are a combined 1-10 this
