For many years it has seemed like the best NFL game each week goes to Sunday Night Football, leaving Monday Night Football with a considerably weaker slate of matchups. But while Sunday Night Football is still loaded as usual in 2020, so are Monday nights.
Important games and thrilling matchups are spread across the season's first 16 weeks, with plenty of big-name quarterbacks, divisional rivalries and familiar faces in new places.
Week 1 features a doubleheader, and Week 2 brings the Las Vegas debut for the Raiders. Then, in Week 3, fans will be treated to perhaps the most highly-anticipated game on the 2020 schedule: Chiefs at Ravens. This will be a high-powered battle between the defending champs and the team that won the most games in 2019, not to mention the two reigning MVP winners.
You don't want to miss that one.
The fun matchups don't end there, so really, you don't want to miss any of them. Tom Brady plays on Monday twice with his new team, and his old team faces off against its most likely toughest AFC East contender in Week 16 to wrap things up.
