This season they are doing a few of them ,next week has two different ones, funny enough it's the other Pennsylvania team in one, and the other Ohio team in the other. They will also do it again in December on the 11th.
The NFL TV contracts signed in 2021, Disney which was paying the most before, wanted something more for their money so they were given 3 Monday Night Football double headers.
