Most NFL fans dislike overlapping Monday night games
Sometimes, fans want more football. Right? Wrong. According to X, formerly known as Twitter, fans want more football games to be scheduled on their terms.

The poll, posted by ProFootballTalk, asked: “Do you like two games being played on Monday night?” Of more than 32,800 votes, 66.7% said, “No.”
This week, the NFL had two “Monday Night Football” games with staggered starting times. The Jacksonville Jaguars played at the Buffalo Bills and the Washington Commanders played at the Cincinnati Bengals. The first game started at 7:30 p.m. ET, and the second one began at 8:15 p.m. ET. One game was on ESPN and the other was on ABC.
At least there is a benefit – what if one of the games is horrendous? The Bills blew out the Jaguars 47-10 and it became immediately evident that the game should not be watched.
In that game, quarterback Josh Allen proved why he is getting some attention for an MVP-like start.
Allen has the highest total QBR (92.6), completion rate (75%), first down percentage (43%), passing touchdown percentage (9.7%), and yards per dropback (8.2) through three games in his seven-year NFL career, according to ESPN Stats. He has yet to throw an interception this season either. The Bills are 3-0.
Allen currently leads the NFL in passer rating (133.7).
The Commanders-Bengals game was much more fun to watch, as Washington rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels made history and helped his team move to 2-1. Washington won 38-33 and in three games as the starter, Daniels has 80.3% of his passes for 662 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.
