Monday Night Football has enjoyed success throughout its 39-year run. The weekly game is popular not only with fans, but with players, as it guarantees a full national telecast of the game and puts both teams in the spotlight.
Teams are selected for Monday Night Football games based partially on their success during the previous season, rewarding the best teams and biggest stars.
Teams with large national fan bases such as the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders, and Pittsburgh Steelers, among others, usually appear on Monday Night Football as well regardless of their previous season’s record. Teams can make a maximum of three Monday night appearances per season.
