Tonights game pits the 1-7 Panthers against the 2-7 Bears. I for one am incredibly excited because I believe TNF is about watching bad football.

My favorite TNF game of all time was the WK 14 2013 game pitting an awful Texans squad against my own awful Jaguars. Jaguars would go on to win an incredibly ugly and penalty filled (22 of them) 27-20 with Matt Schaub, Case Keenum, Chad Henne, and MJD putting on a show for a national audience that probably went to bad that night with the same feeling as you would have after going minor league hockey game.

What are some other wonderfully awful TNF Matchups that we can remember?

    I will never forget Myles Garrett ripping off Mason Rudolphs helmet and taking a swing at his head with it.

      Not sure about all y’all’s jobs, but I would get fired for assaulting my coworker on the job.

      Edit: Same goes for use of racial slurs.

        Garrett was being held by two Steelers players and Rudolph charged at him. After Rudolph twisted his helmet on the ground, kicking off the whole event.

      Was at this game with my buddy. Remember this is one of the last plays of the game so people are kind of starting to file out, two girls behind us tap my buddy on the shoulder and ask if one of us can take their picture. My buddy takes their phone, I turn back around to watch…THE play. My buddy takes the picture and turns around to see me watching on in absolute horror. He’s like what happened??? Myles just…bashed Rudolph with his own helmet!!! We were both in complete disbelief.

      my favorite part of that was AB tweeting a pic of him Sparta kicking that Browns punter in the face, with the caption “this is for you Mason”

      TNF for me in Europe means waking up ten minutes earlier than usual and watching the game highlights on YouTube before I wake up the kids for school. I watched those highlights, and they just ended with some snap. I figured that was the end of it. Woke up the kids, made breakfast, packed their stuff, brought them to school, got back to start working, thought I’d quickly check reddit. 9 of the first 10 posts were about Garrett. This had just not happened in the official NFL highlights. Weird.

      Came to post this. And that was the ONLY entertaining part of that game. Rudolph was abysmal and I could never understand why Dobbs was behind him in the rotation for the entire time the Steelers had him.

      Hey I was there! It was awesome. Well maybe not Myles actions but that game was lots of fun up to that point
