Grades for Jets and Patriots after New York’s blowout win, plus ranking each of the nine undefeated teams

Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter. 

If you watched all of last night’s game, I would like to apologize on behalf of the Patriots, who apparently forgot how to play football.

Last night, he looked like a four-time MVP who might actually be able to help the Jets get to the playoffs for the first time since 2010. 

In today’s newsletter, we’ll be handing out grades for both the Jets and the Patriots, plus we’ll be making some Week 3 picks and we’ll be RANKING KICKERS, because there’s no more exciting way to go into the weekend than ranking kickers. 

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.

Here are our grades from last night’s game: 

JETS GRADE: A

It took three weeks, but Aaron Rodgers finally looked fully comfortable on the field and if we learned one thing from Thursday’s game, it’s that a fully comfortable Aaron Rodgers is a dangerous Aaron Rodgers.
