Why are there 2 Monday Night Football games tonight?

There will be an additional Monday Night Football game in Week 14 as a result of the NFL holding two games tonight.

The Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans square off in an AFC game at the Hard Rock Stadium in the Miami metropolitan area. At MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, a thousand miles away from the Miami Gardens in Florida, the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers will square off.

There were two games on Sept. 18 and Sept. 25, so this is the third occasion this season that Monday Night Football will host two games. So, why do we have two games tonight?

Tonight's two prime-time games aren't specifically for any particular reason. In an announcement, ESPN, though, said that the schedule modification presents a chance to "transform a Sunday afternoon environment into a primetime window."

This Monday Night Football doubleheader is wonderful news for fans of the AFC and NFC, as it offers something for everyone to watch.

Teams with varying season trajectories will also be competing in the games. Among the four teams in action, the Dolphins are the only ones leading their division, while the Packers are vying for a wild card position.

While the Giants and Titans aren't mathematically out of the playoff picture, their prospects of making it are much slimmer.
