Introduction

Monday Night Football is an American institution.

For decades, football fans have gathered around their televisions on Monday nights to watch the week’s biggest game. The tradition began in 1970, when the National Football League (NFL) struck a deal with ABC to televise a game on Monday night in order to reach a wider audience.

Since then, Monday Night Football has become one of the most popular programs on television. Every week during the NFL season, millions of fans tune in to watch the game.

NFL Football Tonight

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world. NFL games are divided into four quarters, each quarter is 15 minutes long with a 12-minute halftime. There are four main timeouts per team per game, and each team gets two additional two-minute timeouts per game if the game goes to overtime.

Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams are a professional American football team based in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Rams compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) West division. The Rams franchise was founded in 1936 as the Cleveland Rams in the short-lived second American Football League before joining the NFL the next year. In 1946, the franchise moved to Los Angeles. The Rams franchise remained in the metro area until 1994, when they moved to St. Louis, and were known as the St. Louis Rams from 1995 to 2015. The Rams franchise returned to Los Angeles in 2016, where they play their home games at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The Rams began play as charter members of the second American Football League. They won that championship game four years later, which was hosted by Cleveland Stadium. After struggling financially for most of their first decade and playing second fiddle to baseball’s Cleveland Indians in that city, they could not survive a mounting financial crisis caused by poor attendance; their landlord at Cleveland Stadium also owned baseball’s Indians and scheduled football games only when there were no conflicts with baseball dates (a schedule that often forced road games to be played on short notice). This led to simultaneous moves of both franchises – now known as “The mistake by the lake” – to Los Angeles; both announced their moves within days of each other in January 1946, with each team moving within months after playing their final game bearing their original city’s name: on December 24, 1945 for the Indians and on December 15 for The AFL Rams who played their final home game two weeks later against Philadelphia at Gilmore Stadium; one week following this victory against Philadelphia and NFL Champions New York Giants at Yankee Stadium for NFL title for The AFL Champions Brooklyn Dodgers), Brooklyn who shared Ebbets Field with championship baseball’s Brooklyn Dodgers). Both teams’ histories trace back 100 years—to prior incarnations that joined together in an ill-fated merger during World War II—and share common themes of resiliency needing multiple relocations including near insolvency, while finding success despite often being overshadowed by crosstown rivals and having inferior resources relative to them throughout most of both teams’ tenures (firstly relative to baseball’s Dodgers and Yankees respectively in both Brooklyn/Los Angeles instances; secondly relative to basketball’s Lakers and Clippers respectively upon footballs return to Los Angeles).

New York Jets

The New York Jets are a professional American football team located in the New York metropolitan area. The Jets compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference East division. The team is headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey. In a unique arrangement for the league, the Jets share MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey with the New York Giants. The franchise is legally and corporately registered as New York Jets, LLC.

The team was founded in 1959 as the Titans of New York, an original member of the American Football League; later, the franchise joined the NFL in the AFL–NFL merger in 1970. The team began to play in 1960 at the Polo Grounds. Under new ownership, the current name was adopted in 1963 and the franchise moved to Shea Stadium in 1964 and then to the Meadowlands Sports Complex in 1984. Since 1968,

Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore, Maryland. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division. The Ravens were established in 1996, when Art Modell, who was then the owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced plans to relocate the franchise from Cleveland to Baltimore in response to disagreements concerning the proposed construction of a new stadium for the Browns on Cleveland’s waterfront. As part of a settlement between Modell and the city of Cleveland, Modell was required to leave the Browns’ legacy in Cleveland; however, he was permitted to take his team’s equipment and office personnel to Baltimore. The Ravens have qualified for the NFL playoffs 11 times since 2000, with two Super Bowl victories (Super Bowl XXXV and Super Bowl XLVII), two AFC Championship titles (2000 and 2012), 15 playoff victories (3rd all-time), four AFC North division titles (2003, 2006, 2011, 2018), five seasons with at least 10 wins (2003–2007, 2011), and are currently tied with the 49ers and Cowboys for second-most Super Bowl appearances in history with five. The Ravens organization was led by general manager Ozzie Newsome from 1996 until his retirement following the 2018 season, and has had three head coaches: Ted Marchibroda from 1996 to 1998; Brian Billick from 1999 to 2007; and John Harbaugh since 2008. With a record-tying number of selections in the annual NFL Draft due to their penchant for trading back for additional picks or selecting players other teams have discarded via waivers—most notably future Hall-of-Famer Terrell Suggs—Newsome is considered among general managers who utilize analytic techniques heavily while making player personnel decisions.

Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins are a professional American football team based in the Miami metropolitan area. The Dolphins compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The Dolphins play their home games at Hard Rock Stadium in the northern suburb of Miami Gardens, Florida. The Dolphins and the Atlanta Falcons are the oldest NFL franchises in the Deep South, and discord within the Pro Football Hall of Fame typically results in those two franchises being represented by their most recent players inducted; linebacker Zach Thomas and defensive end Jason Taylor, respectively.

Conclusion

The National Football League (NFL) is the professional American football league in the United States, consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC).
