Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!If I learned one thing over the weekend, it's that we might need a new name for the sport of football because we can't keep calling it football after what happened on Sunday. There's only one position on the field that actually uses their feet and they forgot how to use them in Week 5: Kickers combined to mi s 12 field goals AND 12 extra points, which was tied for the most mi sed extra points ever during a single week in the Super Bowl era.For the sport's new name, I propose "Quall." It stands for "Quarterback Ball," because that's basically what the NFL has turned into. If you need me, I will be trademarking "Quall" so that I can make millions https://www.justshopfalcons.com when the NFL decides to change its name to the NQL.Anyway, we'll be talking about the mi sed kicks plus plenty more in today's newsletter, 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: Week 5 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 5, and let me just say, it's probably for the best that you listen. We covered all 14 games from Sunday, although I think the Sunday night game technically counted as a Monday game since it ended on Monday morning due to a weather delay that lasted more https://www.justshopfalcons.com/tony-gonzalez-jerseys than an hour.One thing we do every week is hand out our weekly winners and losers from Sunday's action. For our winners this week, we all went with quarterbacks, which either makes us lazy or brilliant.Ryan WilsonWinner: and the .Herbert was Wilson's preseason pick to win NFL MVP, so Wilson spent half the podcast bragging about how smart he is after watching Herbert throw for 398 yards and four touchdowns in the Chargers' 47-42 win over the . It's not just Herbert though, the entire team looks awesome and the Chargers certainly feel like one of the top-three teams in the AFC. Loser: Urban Meyer and the . It's not often that your head coach is a distraction, but that's exactly what's happening in Jacksonville. In their first game since Meyer's off-the-field gaffe, the Jaguars played like they were distracted in a 37-19 lo s to Tenne see. The Jags have now lost 20 straight games, which is the second-longest losing streak in NFL history.Will BrinsonWinner: .Brady has been in the NFL for so long that it feels like he's accomplished everything there is to accomplish, but as it turns out, he actually did something on Sunday that he had never done before. The QB threw for 411 yards and five touchdowns, marking the first time that he's thrown for five or more touchdowns in a game where he also threw for 400 or more yards. Eating a quinoa-only diet for the past 21 years has clearly been paying off for Brady.Loser: coach Joe Judge.Judge isn't https://www.justshopfalcons.com/jonathan-bullard-jerseys even halfway through his second season on the job and he already looks like he's in over his head. To make things worse, he's now going to have to deal with a slew of injuries after , and were all forced to leave the game on Sunday.John BreechWinner: .America got treated to the full Jameis Winston experience on Sunday. After turning the ball over twice in the first quarter, Winston rebounded with a monstrous game that included a 72-yard TD pa s and a 49-yard Hail Mary just before halftime. In the before times, if Winston turned the ball over twice, his team would lose by 30 points, but Sean Payton has him playing at such a high level that he doesn't think twice when he makes a mistake. Winston's QB rating for season is 108.1, which is basically tied with Tom Brady (108.5), which clearly confirms that Winston is the next Brady.Loser: Kickers.On a historically bad day, kickers around the league combined to mi s 24 kicks (12 extra points and 12 field goals). The 12 mi sed extra points tied the record for most mi sed PATs in a single week in the Super Bowl era. The ' win over the had the most mi sed kicks with the two teams combining for six mi ses (five field goals, one extra point). 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 -- .

Week 5 grades: get an 'A+' for upset win over Every week I team up with six of my colleagues here at CBSSports.com to hand out grades, and this week, the Bills got an A+ for going into Arrowhead and destroying the Chiefs.Here's a look at the grades from two notable games that were played Sunday:Bills 38-20 over Chiefs ()Chiefs takeaway:This might have been the worst game of ' career. The Chiefs quarterback turned the ball over three times, including a pick-six, and because of his struggles, the Chiefs just seemed out of sync all night. Not only did the Chiefs lose, but to add insult to injury, they also had multiple players get banged up including (knee), (knee), (stinger) and (fractured hand).Grade: DBills takeaway:If your quarterback outplays https://www.justshopfalcons.com/josh-rosen-jerseys Patrick Mahomes, that usually means you're going to beat Kansas City and outplayed the Chiefs star on Sunday night. Allen totaled 374 yards and four touchdowns https://www.justshopfalcons.com/mike-davis-jerseys in the win. Of that total, 315 yards and three touchdowns came through the air. The Bills also got some surprising help from , who finished with 117 yards and a TD. Buffalo's defense also came up big, forcing four turnovers, including a pick-six by that basically iced the game in the third quarter. The Bills are starting to look like the best team in the AFC.Grade: A+ 27-20 over ()Jets takeaway:Apparently, the Jets' defense didn't make it through customs, because it definitely didn't show up for the first half in this London game. For that matter, neither did the offense. The Jets were buried in a 20-3 hole at halftime and that mostly had to do with the fact that the Falcons were able to pile up more than 250 total yards through the game's first two quarters. Atlanta's almost had as many yards (76) at halftime as the entire Jets offense (80). The Jets did mount a spirited comeback in the second half, but it was too little, too late.Grade:C-Falcons takeaway:Falcons rookie decided to hold his NFL coming-out party in London. With the Falcons mi sing their top two receivers, the first-year tight end had a career day with nine catches for 119 yards and a TD. His day was po sible because was on fire, throwing for 342 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, th
