I'm not sure this really says too much. As sports and television goes, Monday Night Football is an institution, and an early to mid-season match-up is always going to do well, regardless of the featured teams or what other sports event it may be up against. Some people on the board may be old enough to remember that viewership was still very good for the Redskins-Giants MNF game that was up against Game 7 of the 1986 Mets-Red Sox series, a series that ranks as one of the more notable ones in MLB history.

I'm actually surprised that MLB would host one of their playoff games on Monday night.
