TBGKon Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 By my guess was it in 1987 when the Broncos-Vikings game (originally scheduled for Sunday Oct. 25 was bumped back to the 26th due to a Twins playoff game in the Metrodome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I am going to say 1984. Due to a scheduling problem with the Kingdome the Browns and Seahawks played their opener on Monday. Unlike tonight, the game wasn't part of a MNF doubleheader. If I recall correctly outside Seattle and Cleveland the game wasn't even televised regionally. I know we didn't get it in Toledo. The Cowboys and Rams were the actual MNF game. Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Seems to me that 1984 is before 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 In fairness to Tank this could have gone either way. To my knowledge the Seattle-Cleveland game wasn't an "official" MNF game. It was simply a rescheduled game. But it was the first time two regular season games were played on a Monday in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
