FYI NE game also broadcast on WFXT Boston Channel 25.

Maps are always fun. Why does Iowa get Niners-Rams when most of the country gets Bal-Dal?

edit - oh, it’s Purdy, isn’t it?

And Kittle too maybe.

 

[Ale Xander]

I am ecstatic SFL gets Iggles saints over the Gmen (v Brownies)

Kansas and Utah not getting Broncos is surprising to me

 

[Dogman]

I'm just happy NE is listed this week.

I googled why are there 2 MNF games and found a bunch of scammy non answer sites.

Best I found was this NYT article from last year:

In March 2021, the NFL finalized an 11-year media rights agreement with its previously existing broadcast partners, plus Amazon Prime Video, that granted more content to Disney by increasing the number of games on ESPN and ABC from 17 to 23. Beginning in 2022, there were to be three multi-game “Monday Night Football” weeks each season. The structuring of the schedule to air two overlapping Monday night games last season was Disney’s way of testing the waters to decide how to approach future multi-game “MNF” weeks.

Another possible explanation for the concurrent broadcasts is that overlapping the games, rather than scheduling the second game to kick off at the conclusion of the first, will hypothetically result in the late game ending at a decent hour on the East Coast.

They were last week ... and LOST

 

[Dogman]

They were last week ... and LOST

yeah, that's ummm, my bad.

 

[Ale Xander]

They were last week ... and LOST

I’m calling it a tie

 

[mauf]

Amazing catch by Amari Cooper to get RedZone started with a bang.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Giants fumble on first play. Watson TD pass. Browns 7-0 11 seconds in.

 

[luckiestman]

Bonix looking good

 

[johnmd20]

Jefferson made a pretty nifty move there, knocking down the CB to get alone in the end zone. I like it.

Darnold isn't good (or bad). He just has one of the best weapons in the game. Jefferson is so, so good.

 

[cshea]

Chargers/Steelers is going to be a punt fest

 

[luckiestman]

Eagles D a ton of effort today and I don’t know if it will be enough

 

[johnmd20]

Chargers/Steelers is going to be a punt fest

Arthur Smith's wet dream.

 

[luckiestman]

If 501 Blues doesn’t throw games, the Titans might be good.

 

[Curt S Loew]

Bonix looking good

Not on that last 3rd down play. Oops. Lucky wasn't picked.

 

[luckiestman]

Do you guys remember that Chiefs/Rams MNF game (I think it was them) that went over 100 points. Seems like it was decades ago

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Saints D is suffocating Hurts

 

[luckiestman]

Saints D is suffocating Hurts

The Saints look awesome and it’s so funny. The NFL is a coaching league.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I would probably gut my roster for Justin Jefferson. It wouldn't be smart but I would consider it.

 

[luckiestman]

How that Bronco make it, lol. That looked like backyard football

 

[johnmd20]

Terrible angle by the LB there.

 

[luckiestman]

Aaron, Sam, Geno

No one gets QBs like the Jets!

 

[luckiestman]

The metaphysical concept of professional football: Am I a joke to you???

Jim Harbaugh: Yes

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Looks like Texans/Vikings will be the WTF? game this week.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Jalen Hurts and tight window should not be in the same sentence

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Looks like Texans/Vikings will be the WTF? game this week.

Broncos Bucs is more surprising right now

 

[luckiestman]

Arthur Smith looks like he could be pulled directly out of an episode of Hill Street Blues

 

[johnmd20]

Looks like Texans/Vikings will be the WTF? game this week.

Broncos TB?

 

[luckiestman]

Is Houston even supposed to beat the Vikings. They struggled with the Bears and Colts

 

[cshea]

The Vikes are legit. KOC can coach.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

This is non-substantive, but Herbert’s arm band flapping around all game is distracting after you’ve noticed it once.

 

[Gash Prex]

Richardson is just embarrassing

 

[luckiestman]

Anthony Richardson might be dumber than Levis.

 

[luckiestman]

I hate it

 

[cshea]

Chargers/Steelers is going to be a punt fest

Oops

3 and out
3 and out
3 and out
3 and out
TD

Chargers at the Steelers 10

 

[Gash Prex]

To nobody’s surprise but the IND/CHI is a rock fight of terrible QB decisions

 

[Kliq]

Caleb felt bad for Richardson so decided to throw a sympathy pick of his own.

 

[cshea]

Hurts turns it over again

 

[luckiestman]

This is the worst QB play I have seen in the first hour of football I remember. Hurts, Williams, Richardson. Levis having a stupid bee

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Justin Fields is pitching a perfect game

 

[luckiestman]

Getting hard to deny that Matt the Flower is a top coach in this league.

 

[luckiestman]

Nabers might already be a top 5 receiver in this league

 

[Dollar]

Malik Nabers is a stud. 2 amazing catches on that drive.

 

[speedracer]

Saints keep overrunning Hurts on their pass rush, let him out of a real pickle in the 2:00 drill

 

[Dollar]

Not sure if it would have been the right move, but Fields is much more fun to watch than Brissett.
