Monday Night Football heads to Inglewood, California, as the Los Angeles Rams host the New York Giants on ABC and ESPN!

Before we begin, a quick programming note. If you’re a fan of MNF, you might be interested in Miller Night Football, HBO’s upcoming documentary about comedian Dennis Miller’s time in the booth on Monday Night Football. As a fan of both Saturday Night Live and MNF, I can’t wait for this one.

Miller Night Football debuts Tuesday, September 29 on HBO and HBO Max. But let’s get back to tonight’s action, shall we?

Is tonight’s game a must-win for the Rams? Of course not. But starting the season with back-to-back losses when the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are both 2-0 would be… not great.

The Giants are flying high after their 28-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1. If Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo can stay healthy, New York could make some noise in the NFC East. Can the G-Men make it two in a row? Let’s find out.

Here’s how to watch tonight’s Monday Night Football game live on ABC and ESPN.
