NFL Week 14 picks plus Steelers make stu

After all the crazy things that have happened in 2020, nothing should surprise me anymore. I mean, we've seen murder hornets, locusts and a squirrel with bubonic plague, and yet somehow, I was completely shocked by Washington's upset win over the . On paper, I feel like I should have seen this one coming. After all, this had trap game written all over it. Not only were the Steelers in the middle of playing three games in 12 days, but they had to play their biggest rival (Baltimore) before Washington and their next game is a showdown against the 8-3 and let's be honest, if the Steelers were going to overlook one team in that three-game stretch, it was definitely going to be the 4-7 team that plays in the worst division in football. I gue s the joke's on the Steelers for overlooking Washington and Wesley Johnson Jersey the joke's on me for being surprised about it.Now that the upset is official, I'd like to give a shoutout to Pick Six Podcast host Will Brinson, who might have been the only person in America who . I gue s even a blind squirrel with bubonic plague finds a nut once in awhile.Anyway, we've got a big newsletter today and that's because we have to cover BOTH games from Monday along with a preview for Tuesday's game (MORE FOOTBALL). As always, please tell everyone you know to subscribe to this newsletter ( ), and you know what, now that I'm thinking about it, you should also feel free to tell people you don't know. Telling random strangers about the newsletter is a great icebreaker. Alright, let's get to the rundown. 1. Today's Show: Recapping Bills' big win over For the past three weeks, I a sumed that the MVP race was down to just two players -- and -- but then decided to storm through the back door with his performance on Monday. I'm not sure if Allen can still win it, but he can definitely make things interesting if he plays well and the Bills go unbeaten down the stretch. Here are three quick highlights from Buffalo's 34-24 win over San Francisco that was played in Arizona:Josh Allen was unstoppable. The Bills quarterback played arguably his best game of the season, throwing for 375 yards and four touchdowns. Allen also completed 80% of his pa ses which is a great number for someone who is sometimes described as erratic. When Allen is playing as well as he did on Monday, the Bills are basically impo sible to beat. went off.Going into Monday, the most receiving yards Beasley had ever racked up in one game was 112 yards. Not only did he top that against the 49ers, but he topped that in the first half. The Bills receiver caught seven pa ses for 113 yards and a touchdown in the first half on his way to finishing with 130 overall. Bills defense comes up clutch. Yes, the Tobias Harris Jersey Bills defense did surrender more than 400 yards in this game, but a lot of that happened in garbage time after Buffalo took a 34-17 lead in the second half. Not only did the Bills have a goal-line stand in the first quarter, but they also had two interceptions in Louis Williams Jersey the second half that helped seal the win. As for the podcast, we spent most of our time debating just exactly how good the Bills are and the three of us actually agreed that Buffalo is one of about five teams that has the kind of talent it's going to take to win the this year. Oh, and we also spent plenty of time talking about Washington's upset win over the Steelers. To listen to today's episode -- and subscribe to the podcast -- . 2. Steelers make stunning history in lo sIf there's one thing I didn't expect to see on Monday, it was the Steelers blowing a 14-point lead to a 4-7 Washington team. I mean, the lo s itself was shocking, but the fact that the Steelers blew a huge lead made it all the more surprising and that's because the Steelers almost never blow huge leads.Here are three surprising notes from the game:Steelers blow a big lead. Since was drafted in 2004, the Steelers where they led by at least 14 points before Monday. After the lo s to Washington, they're now 109-2-1. The only other times the Steelers have blown a 14-lead both came in 2018. Pittsburgh tied Cleveland in Week 1 after taking a 21-7 lead. In Week 14, the Steelers took a 23-7 lead at halftime before falling to the at home, 33-30.Steelers make history by losing to bad team. Washington actually made history as the team with Landry Shamet Jersey the worst winning percentage to beat a team that's 11-0 or better. At 4-7 (.364 winning percentage), Washington topped the record previously held by the 2011 and 1998 . In 2011, the 5-8 Chiefs (.385 winning percentage) knocked off the 11-0 19-14. In 1998, the 5-8 Giants upset the 13-0 20-16.Steelers keep dropping pa ses. The Steelers had seven dropped pa ses on Monday, which is the . They also now have 31 total drops on the year, which is 10 more than the next closest team. If you've seen Ben Roethlisberger looking frustrated on the sideline lately, this is probably why.The only good news for the Steelers is that they still hold the top seed in the AFC despite the lo s. 3. Tuesday Night Football: Cowboys-Ravens previewDuring the NFL season, Tuesday is usually the one day of the week where I can actually relax, which mostly involves me taking three naps and feeding the baby dinner. However, I'm going to have to throw those plans out the window tonight, because WE'RE GETTING FOOTBALL (Don't worry, my wife will feed the baby). If you would have asked me three days ago who I thought was going to win this game, I would have said the by four touchdowns, but I have no idea anymore and that's because the NFC East has shot to Rodney McGruder Jersey life over the past 48 hours. Not only did we see the Giants upset the , but we also had Washington's win over the Steelers, so now, I don't know what to make of anything. Maybe the can actually pull off the upset tonight.Let's take a look at a few keys for each team tonight in a game where the Ravens are favored by eight points: Cowboys:Due to his nine seasons in Cincinnati, is very familiar with the Ravens. However, that might not actually be an advantage because that means the Ravens are also familiar with him. That being said, Dalton has actually had some succe s against Baltimore. Not only is he 6-4 in his last 10 games against the Ravens, but nine of those 10 games were decided by one score, which means we could be in for a tight one tonight if Dalton comes out and proves he can move the ball on Baltimore's defense. Ravens:Baltimore's game plan shouldn't be that complicated against Dallas: The Ravens have the second-best rushing offense in the NFL and the Cowboys have the worst-rushing defense in the NFL. If you're Baltimore, you just keep pounding the ball until the Cowboys prove they can stop it and I don't think they're going to be able to stop it. The biggest question mark for Baltimore will likely be . The quarterback will final
