It was a crazy carousel of games on the Sunday slate in Week 1 of NFL action. The 2023 season kicked off with a bang, and there were some bizarre performances all around. The Pittsburgh Steelers were trounced by the Bengals, while Joe Burow and the Bengals were humiliated against the Cleveland Browns.
During Sunday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys put on quite the show (and likely had thousands of fans shutting off their TVs early) as they spanked the New York Giants in a 40-0 blowout win.
Steelers fans had it particularly rough in Week 1. After a very promising preseason that included standout performances across the board and a perfect passer rating by QB Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh put up a dud in the season-opener in Week 1.
If you need to hit the reset button and want to enjoy a good primetime game, you're in luck. Tonight two exciting teams and division rivals square off on Monday Night Football.
Who is playing Monday Night Football tonight?
The NFL picked an awesome game to put on Monday Night Football in Week 1 of the 2023 season. Tonight, the New York Jets will host the Buffalo Bills. This will be the first regular season game in which we will see future Hall of Fame QB Aaron Rodgers in a Jets uniform.
Rodgers gets a formidable opponent this week, and fans are very excited to watch him go toe-to-toe with Josh Allen tonight. While Rodgers may be past his prime, he will be out to show the young buck why there could be a new king of the AFC East. The Jets already had a strong defense.
Now they will presumably see a massive upgrade at quarterback going from a combination of Zach Wilson, Mike White, and Joe Flacco to Aaron Rodgers. If Rodgers can still play at a high level, it could really throw a monkey wrench into the AFC playoff picture in 2023.
The AFC East promises to be one of the best divisions in football this year, and this is a huge divisional game in Week 1. Monday Night Football should showcase a packed house at MetLife Stadium. Regardless of what team you root for, you aren't going to want to miss this one.
