Over the years, Monday Night Football (MNF) has lost a little bit of its luster thanks to Sunday Night Football (SNF), what with the good folks at SNF constantly picking out the best games of the year for themselves and leaving fascinating battles like Jagaurs vs. Seahawks for Monday. This year, though, the outings on the agenda (for now) appear to be noticeably improved.
Really, going through the list, you don’t get to a dull game until Week 8 when the 49ers take on the sure-to-be-awful Cardinals. From there it will be all good games until Week 10 when Pittsburgh takes some time out of its postseason run to throw Kansas City a beating. After that, aside from Panthers vs. Eagles in Week 12, it’s nothing but thrillers all the way to the very end.
Monday nights are going to be pretty great this season.
