For the first time in 2024, fans will have two NFL games to choose from on "Monday Night Football."

Week 3 presents the first of four instances this season when there will be a double dose of NFL games on Monday night. Weeks 4, 7, and 15 will also have two "MNF" games to close out the weekend slate. The Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills open the night with an AFC showdown in Buffalo. Less than one hour later, the Washington Commanders and Cincinnati Bengals will kick off their Week 3 interconference clash.

Jacksonville and Cincinnati will be looking to avoid a dreaded 0-3 start to their seasons on Monday night. Meanwhile, Washington and Buffalo can remain in the top spot in their respective divisions with wins.
