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.
