Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
After just five weeks, we have our first firing of the NFL season and it happened in New York, where the Jets gave a pink slip to Robert Saleh, who apparently wasn’t expecting to lose his job on Tuesday morning. Saleh is now the third coach over the past 10 years to be fired after playing a game in London, joining Dennis Allen (fired by the Raiders in 2014) and Joe Philbin (fired by the Dolphins in 2015).
