Monday Night Football
The New York Giants visit the Detroit Lions in a
matchup between the two teams that led the NFL

So, y'know, enjoy that one, football fans. That's
followed at approximately 10:15pm Eastern by the
San Diego Chargers at the Arizona Cardinals,
whose .295 all-time win percentage on MNF is the
worst in the league (a record brightened only by
wide receiver Rod Tidwell's spectacular game
against the Cowboys in 1996).

Running Wild With Bear Grylls
And speaking of football, can NFL Hall of Famer
Deion Sanders successfully apply his gridiron

Grylls successfully apply his survivalist skills to
covering the slot receiver in a nickel defense
package? One or more of these questions may be
answered tonight.
