As you may or may not know, the 1972 pop open champagne every year when the final undefeated team loses, and I was also drinking champagne, because that's just what I do every Monday night.So how did the Commanders pull off the biggest upset of the NFL season? We'll be covering that in today's newsletter, plus we'll be making some early picks for Week 11 and unveiling Pete Prisco's latest power rankings.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. To get them to sign up, all you have to do is with them. Alright, let's get to the rundown. 1. Today's show: Commanders spoil Eagles' quest to go undefeatedThe Commanders shocked the NFL on Monday night with their win over the Eagles. Washington was an 11-point underdog last night, making it just the third team this season to pull off a win as a double-digit underdog ( over and over are the other two). Following the game, Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and I spent five minutes in total shock before breaking down how the Commanders were able to pull off the upset. Here are three key things from the game that we covered during the pod:Commanders offensive game-plan worked to perfection.If you want to beat the Eagles, one way to do it is to keep their high-powered offense off the field, and the Commanders did exactly that by eating up the clock with an impre sive offensive game-plan Monday. The Commanders ran the ball 49 times, which was the most runs Bernie Kosar Jersey they've had in a game since 2002. All those runs kept the clock moving, and because of that, Washington had the ball for more than 40 minutes (40:24), which was the team's second-highest time of po se sion over the past five years. The Commanders also kept the clock running by converting 12 third-down attempts -- their most in a game 2013.Commanders rushing attack wasn't sexy, but it got the job done. Brian Robinson (79 yards) and (44 yards) were the perfect one-two punch, and they consistently came up with big runs when Washington needed them. Despite running the ball 49 times, the Commanders only finished with 152 yards, making them the first NFL team since 2005 to run the ball at least 49 times without topping 155 yards.Eagles lost turnover battle for the first time this year. Going into their game with the Commanders, the Eagles had only turned the ball over THREE times all season, so it was a total surprise to see them beat that total in one game Monday night. The Eagles turned the ball over four times, with three of the four coming in the second half. The most painful was a fumble that came after Watkins caught a 50-yard pa s (you ). If Watkins doesn't fumble, the Eagles would have had the ball inside of Washington's 25-yard line while trailing 26-21 with just under six minutes left to play. This game marked the first time all season that the Eagles lost the turnover battle, and the first game all season where they trailed at any point in the second half.Controversial play went against the Eagles.The most controversial play of this game came in the fourth quarter on a fumble. The officials should have overturned the play because a defender clearly pulled Goedert's face mask. (The facemask, which , was so bad that it's almost impo sible to believe the officiating crew mi sed it). There was also a controversial play when Philly's got called for unnece sary roughne s for a hit on , but in this case, the officials got the call right, even if most fans thought it was a dumb call. Heinicke had given himself up and Graham still hit him even though he tried to stop (you ). The Graham penalty came on third down with 1:45 left to play and gave Washington a free first down. If Graham doesn't get penalized, the Eagles would have gotten the ball back with a chance to win. (The score was 26-21 at that point. The final score of 32-21 happened because the Commanders scored a TD on the final play of the game after returning an Eagles fumble for a TD).Commanders QB decision. Taylor Heinicke got the start last night because is on injured reserve, but that won't be the case anymore going forward. Wentz is eligible to return this week, which means the Commanders are going to have to make a decision at QB. If I'm Ron Rivera, the decision is easy: You stick with Heinicke, who has gone 3-1 in four starts while Wentz has been on IR (Went went 2-4 to start the season). Heinicke, who threw for 211 yards against the Eagles, is making smart decisions and seems to be providing a spark for the offense that Wentz hasn't been able to provide. With Washington (5-5) now back in the playoff race, it makes sense to ride the hot hand.We talked about those three things, plus everything else you could po sibly want to know Olivier Vernon Jersey about Monday's game.

Raiders owner Mark Davis gives Josh McDaniels a vote of confidenceIf my team were 2-7 and coming off a disastrous lo s to the Colts, I'm not sure I'd view that as the right time to give my coach a vote of confidence, but that's exactly what Raiders owner Mark Davis did Monday.Here's what Davis had to say about Josh McDaniels' future with the Raidersavis says McDaniels is doing a fantastic job"I like Josh. I think he's doing a fantastic job. That's why I hired him," Davis said, . I'm not sure if fantastic means what Davis thinks it means. Not only is McDaniels 2-7, but he has the worst record of any first-year coach, including Nathaniel Hackett.Davis understands the fans' frustrations. "You want to win and at the end of the year be the one holding the trophy," Davis said. "Obviously, we're not there yet. I know it's frustrating for the fan base. I feel for them. I'm a fan as well."Davis is not going to judge McDaniels after just nine games. "People in today's world want instant gratification," Davis said, . "The guy's coached nine games. We're 2-7 -- not the results we're looking for, but at the same time we've lost six one-score games with the ball and a chance to win at the end." This is a fair point and probably the only one I would have made if I were Davis.McDaniels still has Davis' backing."I gave him my vote of confidence when I signed him to a contract to be coach of the Raiders. That's when I gave it to him," Davis said. "Rome was not built in a day." Rome also didn't collapse overnight, so Davis better feel comfortable with the direction of his team if he's going to keep McDaniels on board. It's been a rough 48 hours for the Raiders. got to the Colts. That was followed up with some interesting Phillip Gaines Jersey comments from , who said this week that there are not ." If there are guys who aren't buying in, that seems like a coaching i sue and something that the Raiders need to get fixed soon. 5.
