Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!I'll be honest, the fact that there's even a newsletter today is kind of a miracle and that's because my original plan for today was to not write this newsletter so that I would have more time to take advantage of Cyber Monday by purchasing a bunch of things I don't need. Jamal Adams Jersey I'm not sure if you can get a new quarterback for Cyber Monday, but the and should at least look.One thing I'll definitely be buying today is a hoodie from the CBS Sports store. Everything in the store is 25% off until midnight tonight, so I'd highly suggest that everyone take advantage of that by purchasing as many things as po sible (You ).Alright, I promise I won't ask you to buy anything else in today's newsletter, but we do have 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 is with them. 1. Today's show: Week 12 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 12, and let me just say, it's probably for the best that you listen. We covered all 11 games from Sunday and we spent part of the podcast trying to figure out who's going to be the wild-card teams from the NFC and I have to say, my head still hurts from just thinking about it. One thing we do every week is hand out our weekly winners and losers from Sunday's action. For this week's losers, Wilson and Brinson both went with a team located in the state of Pennsylvania -- I'm not sure what they have against Pennsylvania -- while picked a team out west.Ryan WilsonWinner: . After 12 weeks, not only does Jones look like the best QB from the 2021 , but he's also arguably the front-runner for the rookie of the year award. Bill Belichick is on the verge of starting another dynasty.Loser: Steelers. Wilson is our resident Steelers homer here at CBSSports.com and based on his tone from the podcast, it sounds like he's Seattle Seahawks Pet Gear given up on the Steelers for the season.Will BrinsonWinner: Kyle Shanahan and the .After a 3-5 start to the season, most people wrote off the 49ers, but not Brinson. He got laughed at for weeks for saying that the Niners were a lock to make the playoffs, but now, no one's laughing at him. The 49ers are on a roll and it's mostly due to the fact that Shanahan decided to tear out the pa sing portion of his playbook. On their three-game winning streak, the 49ers are averaging more than 40 carries per game. Loser: and the .The lo s to the is going to "hurts" for awhile. DK Metcalf Jersey OK, that was a bad joke, but it wasn't as bad as the way Hurts played on Sunday, The Eagles QB threw three interceptions, which ended up being a big reason why Philadelphia didn't win. John BreechWinner: .One month ago, the were basically trying to give Tua away so they could get , but they failed get a deal done, which has turned out to be a good thing. With the distraction of a potential trade out of his way, all Tua has done is go 4-0 since the trade deadline. He's also looking more and more like he might end up being the Dolphins' QB of the future.Loser: .Every time you think the Chargers are about to turn the corner and become a contender, they go out and fall flat on their face. If they had beaten the on Sunday, they would have been in first place heading into Week 13, but instead, they got embarra sed. I also got embarra sed because I picked them to win. 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 podcast out there -- .

Week 12 grades: Broncos get an 'A' for steamrolling ChargersEvery week I team up with six Ugo Amadi Jersey of my colleagues here at CBSSports.com to hand out grades, and this week, the Broncos got an 'A' for upsetting the Chargers.Here's a look at the grades from two notable games that were played Sunday
enver 28-13 over Los Angeles ()Broncos takeaway:The Broncos needed a win in the worst kind of way and made sure it happened. The rookie cornerback intercepted two pa ses against the Chargers, including a fourth-quarter pick-six that basically iced the win for Denver. The Broncos' defense absolutely shut down and the high-flying Chargers offense. The Broncos' offense wasn't flashy, but it was efficient, especially on third down as Denver went 8 of 11 on third-down conversions. The Broncos also took advantage of the Chargers' putrid rushing defense by totaling 147 yards on the ground. With the win, the Broncos are now tied with the Chargers and in the AFC West and firmly in the AFC playoff race.Grade: AChargers takeaway:This game was just one disaster after another for the Chargers. Every time it looked like they might be able to get back in it, they would end up shooting themselves in the foot. The most glaring errors came during a second half that included a mi sed field goal and a pick-six thrown by Justin Herbert, which was one of two interceptions he threw in the game. The Chargers' offensive line was completely overmatched, which led to a long day for Herbert, who was sacked three times. Defensively, the Chargers biggest weakne s is that they can't stop the run and that weakne s was on full display in Denver. Seattle Seahawks Men Jersey Grade: DMiami 33-10 over Carolina ()Dolphins takeaway:The Dolphins have been one of the NFL's best teams during the month of November and they capped off the month with arguably their most impre sive performance of the year. This game was a defensive masterpiece for the Dolphins, who picked off three pa ses while holding the to just 198 yards of total offense, marking just the second time in the past three years that the Dolphins have held a team under 200 yards. played a big part in Miami's dominating defensive performance with three of the Dolphins' five sacks. Offensively, Tua Tagovailoa was nearly perfect, completing 27 of 31 pa ses for 230 yards and a TD and most of those pa sing yards went to , who finished with 137 receiving yards and a TD on nine catches. The Dolphins have slowly worked their way into the playoff conversation, which is kind of crazy for a team that was once 1-7.Grade: A+Panthers takeaway: return to Carolina has gone from feel-good story to disaster. In his second start of the year, Newton looked completely lost against the Dolphins every time he dropped back to pa s. The Panthers QB completed just 5 of 21 pa ses with two interceptions
