The 2024 NFL season is up and running, and we have already been treated to numerous talking points in the first two weeks. Some postseason favorites are 2-0, many wide receivers are out for weeks, and some fantasy football managers are pondering whether to call it quits after just two game weeks.
Ahead of Week 3 of the 2024 season, let's explore why there are two Monday night football games scheduled for Week 3.
Why are there two Monday Night Football games in Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season?
According to NBC Washington, the reason for two Monday Night Football matchups in Week 3 rather than the typical one is Disney's latest NFL media rights deal. Disney, which owns ESPN and ABC, increased its number of regular-season NFL games from 17 to 23 in the latest media rights deal.
