From one primetime window to another for the Buffalo Bills, who have clearly become one of the NFL’s favorite teams, and with good reason.
After beating the Los Angeles Rams in last week’s traditional NFL opener on Thursday night, the Bills host the Tennessee Titans at Highmark Stadium for the first of their two appearances this year on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
Despite the fact that this game features two of the best teams in the AFC, ESPN treats it as secondary. There is also a Monday night game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles that starts at 8:30 a.m. and will be broadcast to a wider audience on ABC, with the No. 1 announcing the crew of Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters.
Also the popular ManningCast on ESPN2, starring brothers Peyton and Eli Manning and a number of guests, will be dark this week. It usually runs concurrently with the main show on ESPN, but the Mannings appear to be having a bye week, perhaps with two games on the schedule.
