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?
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.
