Are you ready for some football? Well, during Week 2 of the NFL season, there will be an extra game on the Monday Night Football slate.
"The thought there is, can we combine total audience and do a little bit like we used to do in the old days of college football where we create a simultaneous national and regional appeal and use our networks to do that in a single window?" ESPN President of Content Burke Magnus told The Athletic's Richard Deitsch."Then it combines to sort of like a super audience total number.
"We're going to learn more about what optimizes best, and I think by next year we'll continue to hone on driving the biggest viewership between the two games," Magnus told Deitsch."We will learn if it is better to start with the ABC game, the ESPN game, or the other way around."The NFC South is a wide-open division. That gives the New Orleans Saints and Derek Carr room to push for the playoffs.
In that context, the Saints defense, which corralled three interceptions in their season opener, will be looking to take advantage of the young signal-caller. Carr and company will also like their chances against a defense that surrendered 24 points to the Falcons. The Ravens are sitting atop the AFC North at 2-0; the Bengals, in a somewhat surprising turn of events, are in the cellar at 0-2. The Browns enter Monday night 1-0, while the Steelers are 0-1.
