The MNF opener nightcap sees Von Miller and the Denver Broncos renew their rivalry with Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders. The Broncos-Raiders matchup ended ESPN's 2018 MNF slate, and will mark the 28th all-time meeting between these two foes on Monday night. Denver will appear on MNF for the 28th straight season (1992-present).

ESPN did a good job of picking good teams for MNF this year. A lot of these teams will appear twice. Smart move when you take into account that MNF games cannot be flexed.
ReplyDeleteThat's right. In recent years, ESPN has been under fire for cherry-picking awful or semi-awful matchups.
DeleteRight hopefully they'll be good when they are played 🙌
DeleteThe Bills should've gotten at least one primetime game. They are the only team that does not currently have one (unless they get flexed into one towards the end of the season). A good matchup could have been a Bills MNF or TNF home game against the Eagles or Broncos.
