For the first time, two "Monday Night Football" games will kick off simultaneously as the Green Bay Packers face the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins host the Tennessee Titans.
While the Dolphins will be hosting a Monday night game for the first time since 2017, the Packers and Giants meet on MNF for the first time since 1983.
The Packers will play their third straight nationally televised game after upsetting the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs last week and defeating the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. A three-game winning streak has vaulted the Packers into the NFC playoff picture.
After a brutal stretch during which the Packers lost four consecutive games, first-year starting quarterback Jordan Love has impressed in recent weeks. Starting at quarterback for the Giants is undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito, who has won two of the three games he has started.

A win by the Dolphins tonight moves them back into first place overall in the AFC, though Week 17's visit to Baltimore could be decisive. Miami will remain the second seed with a loss.
