Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!It has been nearly 24 hours since the Cowboys lost to the 49ers and I still have no idea what they were thinking on their final play. It's fitting that the game was on Nickelodeon, because the only way to explain that play call is that the Cowboys let kids acro s the country vote on which play they should call. Next year, the Cowboys should definitely be in https://www.justpisteelers.com/joe-haeg-jerseys the Nickelodeon game again, except this time, they should let SpongeBob SquarePants coach the team because there's no way he could do any worse than what Mike McCarthy did against the 49ers.We'll be di secting the entire play in today's newsletter, plus we'll be recapping every game from the weekend and previewing Cardinals-Rams, 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.

Today's show: Full recap of Super Wild Card WeekendIt'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 Super Wild Card Weekend, and let me just say, it's probably for the best that you listen. It was a wild weekend that saw the Bengals end a 31-year playoff drought, the Chiefs https://www.justpisteelers.com/kordell-stewart-jerseys likely end Ben Roethlisberger's career and the Cowboys no longer using common sense. Here's a brief look at the topics we touched on from each game:Bengals 26-19 over Raiders.The Bengals ended their 31-year playoff drought, but things definitely got dramatic before that happened. The Bengals' win wasn't clinched until Derek Carr threw an interception from Cincinnati's 9-yard line with 12 seconds left in the game. In his first playoff start ever, threw two touchdown pa ses, while kicker Evan McPherson set a franchise record for playoff field goals in a single-game with four. This game was marred by bad officiating -- with the Bengals scoring a TD on a play where there was an inadvertent whistle -- but in the end, it feels like the team that played better on Saturday ended up winning.Bills 47-17 over Patriots.The Bills handed the Patriots a historical beatdown in a game that was never close. The Bills scored a touchdown on each of their first seven po se sions, which is something that had never been done before by any playoff team in the Super Bowl era. The Bills' offensive blitzkrieg was led by Josh Allen, who threw for 308 yards and five touchdowns on a night where the Bills totaled 482 yards.Buccaneers 31-15 over Eagles.The Buccaneers jumped out to a 31-0 lead in this game and never looked back. Tom Brady threw two touchdown pa ses and then Tampa Bay's defense did the rest with two interceptions and two sacks of Jalen Hurts.49ers 23-17 over Cowboys. The 49ers looked like they were on their way to a blowout win with a 23-7 lead https://www.justpisteelers.com/derek-watt-jerseys in the fourth quarter, but then things took a dramatic turn after the Cowboys mounted a furious comeback to cut the lead to 23-17. However, the comeback fell just short with the Cowboys' final drive of the game ending at San Francisco's 24-yard line. It ended in dramatic fashion when Dallas made one of the most head-scratching play calls that you'll ever see in a playoff game, which we'll be covering more in our next section.Chiefs 42-21 over Steelers. In what was likely Ben Roethlisberger's final game, the Steelers jumped out to an early 7-0 lead after scoring getting a defensive touchdown from T.J. Watt, but it was all Chiefs after that. Patrick Mahomes threw for 404 yards and five touchdowns as Kansas City rolled to the win.Not only did we go over each game, but we also took a very early look at the divisional round.

Di secting the Cowboys' inexplicable final playThe Cowboys decision to call a QB draw on their final play was so bad that we're taking an entire section of the newsletter to walk through it.Let's review how it all went down:The situation. After a 9-yard catch by Dalton Schultz took the Cowboys down to San Francisco's 41-yard like, the crazine s officially started. Schultz got out of bounds with 14 seconds left, which meant the Cowboys had 14 seconds to go 41 yards and they were going to have to do it with no timeouts. However, they did catch a break, because right before they called their next play, the 49ers actually called a timeout, so Dallas had some extra time to think about their play call.The call. Apparently, the extra time they got to think things over went to total waste, because the Cowboys called a QB DRAW. In one of the most https://www.justpisteelers.com/cameron-heyward-jerseys inexplicable decisions of all time, the Cowboys decided to run the ball even though they were out of timeouts. If you have not seen this play, I implore you to stop so you can watch it right now.The outcome. As you can imagine, this didn't work out too well for the Cowboys. After Dak Prescott slid down, there was barely enough time to get off another snap. According to the official scorer, Prescott did get off the next snap, but the clock hit 0:00 before his spike hit the ground. The entire play was a failure of epic proportions by everyone on the Cowboys' offense.Why it was such a horrible call. Although Mike McCarthy said it was a great call, let me just say that he's definitely wrong. When you make a call like this, you have no margin for error, if one thing goes wrong, you lose the game and that's what happened to the Cowboys. On Dak's end, he probably should have gone down sooner, which is something that the coaching staff should have emphasized. Also, Prescott should have KNOWN that the umpire has to spot the ball before the next play. That' https://www.justpisteelers.com/pressley-harvin-iii-jerseys s on the coaching staff for once again not emphasizing something (Remember, the Cowboys had a full timeout to hash things out before running this play, so there was plenty of time to relay any and all critical information).The ref's run.McCarthy claimed his team practices this play all the time, and that's probably true, but do they practice it with the officials in their proper positions? One problem with the play is that official who spots the ball -- the umpire -- was a full 25 yards away from the ball when the play ended (You ). The umpire lines up in the same spot on every play and the Cowboys should have known that it would take him a few seconds to spot the ball. The reason the umpire Tyler Biadasz is because he was running at a full sprint for 25 yards to get the ball spotted.What the Cowboys should have done. If the Cowboys really wanted to get 10 or 15 extra yards, all they
