  Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six Newsletter!I'm not sure what you guys are doing four months from now, but you might want to go ahead and clear your calendar for January 17. Seeing that I don't plan anything more than three days in advance, clearing that date was pretty easy on my end. Anyway, the reason you need to clear your calendar is because that's going to be the day of the 's first-ever Monday playoff game.I haven't decided how I feel about a Monday playoff game, but right now, I think I like it and we'll be talking more about it in today's newsletter. One thing I don't like is injuries and we saw a few serious ones during Carolina's 24-9 win over Houston on Thursday night, including one to . We'll be covering the injuries, plus we'll even be giving you some Week 3 picks in today's newsletter, so let's get to the rundown.Remember, your job this weekend is to get as many people you know to sign up for the newsletter. To get Timothe Luwawu Jersey your friends to sign up, all you have to do is with them. 1. Today's show: Recapping Carolina's win over HoustonAlthough last night's game ended up being a blowout, it was actually pretty close through the first three quarters. As a matter of fact, it was a one score game (17-9) with FIVE minutes left in the fourth quarter. Basically, I was expecting this game to be a total snoozer that would allow me to fall asleep by halftime, but the actually made things interesting, which definitely added some spice to our postgame podcast. If you mi sed the game, here's a quick rehash of what happened and what we talked about on the podcast: is no longer seeing ghosts.After an ugly start to his career in New York that involved seeing ghosts and being coached by Adam Gase, Darnold looks completely revitalized in Carolina. With McCaffrey out, the QB carried the offense in Houston. Not only did Joel Embiid Jersey Darnold throw for 304 yards, but he also rushed for two touchdowns. The game marked the second straight week that he threw for 300 or more yards, which is notable, because he NEVER threw for 300 yards in consecutive games while in New York (He also never rushed for multiple TDs in a game while with the ). Darnold already seems to have good chemistry with , who caught eight pa ses for 126 yards.The Panthers defense is scary.The Panthers went into this game with the best defense in football that's likely not going to change after every team gets a chance to play in Week 3. The Panthers surrendered le s than 200 yards of offense, marking the second time this year they've pulled that off. The team recorded four sacks, including one that came from , who is looking like an early candidate for Defensive Player of the Year. The most impre sive part of Carolina's defensive showing might have been its ability to stop the run: The Texans averaged just 2.47 yards per carry with 42 yards on 17 runs. Panthers dealing with major injuries. Although they won, the Panthers probably weren't too happy when they left Houston and that's because they're dealing with two major injuries. The first one happened in the second quarter when McCaffrey went down with a hamstring injury and when it happened, he was almost immediately ruled out of the game. It now appears the Panthers are going to mi s their star back for at least a few weeks, . Defensively, the Panthers lost cornerback . The rookie broke his foot in the second half on a non-contact play. There's a po sibility that this Dana Barros Jersey for Horn, but his recovery time is expected to be two to three months, , so he won't be back until late November at the earliest with December looking much more likely.To listen/watch today's episode on YouTube, (Seriously, you can WATCH the podcast). You can . 2. Today's show Part II: Best bets for Week 3The best part about Friday -- besides the fact that it's Friday -- is that you get two episodes of the podcast in your feed. After the recap of the Thursday game, Brinson politely asked me and Ryan Wilson to leave so that he could bring in Pete Prisco and R.J. White for a discu sion about their best bets for Week 2. Actually, Brinson didn't politely ask us to leave, he muted our microphones so that we couldn't participate.

NFL making one big change to wild card roundThe have been undergoing a lot of changes over the past 12 months and it looks like we can now add one more change to the list: The league announced on Friday that Super Wild Sergio Rodriguez Jersey Card Weekend is going to be getting even more Super this year with the addition of a MONDAY playoff game.That is not a typo: There will be a "Monday Night Football" game in the postseason and the first one will be coming to us on Jan. 17, which also happens to be Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
