Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers are an American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Steelers compete in the National Football League (NFL), as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) North division. Founded in 1933, the Steelers are the oldest franchise in the AFC.
In contrast with their status as perennial also-rans in the pre-merger NFL, where they were the recipients of numerous top draft picks and recorded only two winning seasons from 1933 to 1963, the Steelers of the post-merger era are noted for their consistent success. Since joining the league in 1970, they have posted more winning seasons (39) than any other team, and have captured 6 Super Bowl championships — more than any other AFC or NFC team. They are tied with the New England Patriots for that record.
Green Bay Packers
The Packers will take on the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin. This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season.
New England Patriots
The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston area. The Patriots compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays its home games at Gillette Stadium in the town of Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is located 28 miles (45 km) southwest of downtown Boston.
The Patriots are also headquartered at Gillette Stadium. An original member of the American Football League (AFL), the Patriots joined the NFL in the AFL–NFL merger in 1970. The team changed its name from the original Boston Patriots after relocating to Foxborough in 1971. The Patriots played their home games at Fenway Park from 1971 to 2001, then moved to Gillette Stadium at the start of 2002.
Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers are a professional American football team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Panthers compete in the National Football League (NFL), as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) South division. The team is headquartered in Bank of America Stadium in uptown Charlotte; their training facilities and practice facilities are located at the NovaCare Complex in Philadelphia. They are one of the few NFL teams to own their stadium outright, with the other teams either renting or having arrangements with local government entities.
The Panthers were established as an expansion team in 1993, and played their first season in 1995 under former head coach Dom Capers. The team finished its inaugural season 7–9, the best performance from an expansion team since the 1966 AFL–NFL merger. The following year, they improved to 12–4 and made it to the NFC Championship Game for the first time before losing to eventual Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers 30–13. They did not make the playoffs again for eight more seasons.
In 2003, quarterback Jake Delhomme led the team to an NFC Championship Game appearance after going 11-5 during the regular season. After a loss to eventual Super Bowl champion New England Patriots 32-29 in Super Bowl XXXVIII, they returned to being an also-ran until they again went 15-1 during the 2008 regular season under Delhomme and head coach John Fox en route to another NFC Championship Game appearance—this time losing 14-3 to eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants—and another playoff appearance in 2009. They then suffered consecutive losing seasons for one of only two times since 1995 before regaining success with Cam Newton leading them to three straight winning seasons from 2013-15 en route to five playoff appearances, with three trips to at least the divisional round including a loss in Super Bowl 50 against Denver Broncos 24-10. Ron Rivera was hired as head coach in 2011; under him, they have made five consecutive playoff appearances including Super Bowl 50 against Denver Broncos 24-10..
Conclusion
In conclusion, there are four NFL teams playing Monday Night Football tonight. They are the Indianapolis Colts, the Baltimore Ravens, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Los Angeles Rams.
