All Good Football Things Must Come To an End

Last night was the 555th — and final — Monday that ABC presented ''Monday Night Football.'' Truly the end of an era.

Enjoy this MNF commemorative edition of trivialTV.

Technical note: I used stats only for games that were originally scheduled for Monday nights. I've excluded all games presented on the ''Thursday Night Edition of Monday Night Football.'' I've also excluded the secondary game for three Mondays (10/26/1987, 10/27/1997, 9/19/2005) on which two games were played.
