Why Are There Two ‘Monday Night Football’ Games in Week 2?

1. NFL fans will be treated to a double dip tonight with the Titans and Bills kicking off at 7:15 p.m. ET and the Vikings and Eagles getting underway at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Steve Levy, Louis Riddick and Dan Orlovsky will have the call of Tennessee-Buffalo on ESPN, while Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will work Minnesota-Philadelphia on ABC. ESPN has said it will liberally use double boxes on both networks during the overlap to keep viewers updated on both matchups.

So, why are we getting a doubleheader in Week 2 and why did we only get one Monday-night game in Week 1?
