Welcome to the Black Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
I hope you didn’t fill up on football yesterday, because there is more football coming your way today. For the second time in NFL history, the league will be holding a Black Friday game with the Raiders traveling to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs.

Of course, since the game is on Amazon, I might end buying twice as many things as usual. I might go broke today.
Not only will we be previewing today’s game in the newsletter, but we’ll also be handing out grades from the three Thanksgiving games. And yes, we’ll be breaking down the firing of Matt Eberflus, who was let go by the Bears on Friday after committing one of the worst late-game coaching gaffes in recent NFL history
As always, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here.

Bears takeaway: Matt Eberflus has been on the hot seat all season and after this loss, his seat became combustible and blew up, because he’s now out in Chicago. The Bears had a chance to win or tie this game in the final minute, but Eberflus totally botched the clock management in the final 30 seconds….
