What the league should do is flex better games into Monday Night Football seeing as that's traditionally been the feature game of the week. I know the schedule is released in April, but Vikings/Bears and Colts/Titans?? Green Bay/Dallas would've been a better option for MNF this past week. Back in the 80s and 90s it seemed like there were much better Monday Night Matchups. (Three that come to mind are Bears/Dolphins from 1985(with the Bears coming into the old Orange Bowl 12-0 and leaving with their lone loss that season), 49ers/Giants in 1990 (with both teams holding the top two records in the league up to that point, I know hard to believe since both are winless this season), and Chiefs/Broncos from 1993 or 94 with John Elway going against Joe Montana. Back then, MNF used to draw much higher ratings even with a 9pm start time on the East Coast. Other factors also contribute to MNF's higher share of viewers decades ago such as fewer cable channels, no internet, and the absence of streaming, but seemingly the NFL's Monday Night Games no longer seem to have the appeal they once had
