This time, Monday Night Football will feature a matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. So, why is this game worth watching? NFL fans may remember December 8, 2024, when the Rams defeated the Bills 44–42. But Matthew Stafford remembered that game for another reason. It was the day he realized what it was like to watch Josh Allen play from just a few feet away.
After the game, Stafford described Allen as a “one-of-a-kind type” player. And for good reason. On December 8, Allen became the first player in the Super Bowl era to record three rushing touchdowns and three passing touchdowns in a single game.
This Monday, the two quarterbacks will face off again. So, could we see another historic performance? Beyond Monday Night Football, the day will also feature two League Championship Series games, several NHL matchups, and NBA preseason action.
With many games to watch, let’s take a look at the schedules for all the games.
