Nate & Hayden dive into their Pick 6 with takeaways from six of Sunday's games. They kick off with the Denver Broncos' comeback against the Jacksonville Jaguars where Jaylen Waddle finally shined like the Mile High City thought he would. Next, they talk Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears: Brian Flores' Vikings defense shut down a Bears offense that scored 59 last week, holding them to only 3 points on a day where Caleb Williams left the game with a hamstring injury.

The Eagles came out on top after a winning drive from Jalen Hurts. Nate & Hayden discuss just how good Eagles WRs Devonta Smith & Dontayvion Wicks are for this offense.
