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?
How does Drew Stanton and Ryan Lindley vs. Shaun Hill grab you?

I only watched this game because I bet on it.
I’m still convinced that watching that Broncos/49ers 11-10 game last year was punishment for something terrible I did in a past life.
I feel like TNF games are usually shit
Last year, week 5, Colts @ Broncos. Colts won in OT 12-9.
I imagine they got the primetime spot because Wilson had just arrived in Denver and Matt Ryan was heading up the Colts.
One of the hardest games I’ve ever had to watch.
On the other hand, next week we’ll see the 6-3 Bengals fight the 7-3 Ravens for first place in the AFC North, with the Bengals winning. They will retain first place when the Steelers and Browns finish that week at 6-3-1.
Got tickets to Seahawks at Niners from a colleague, great seats, met friends at a pregame, ate and drank well, tossed the pigskin in the parking lot.
I was AMPED and half drunk ready for a sick divisional matchup.
5 field goals, final score 6-9
The Color Blind Game.
That Broncos-Colts shitfest where Russell Wilson missed a wide open KJ Hamler in the end zone on the final play of OT.
I’m going to this game in person tonight. I am quite excited to see how ugly this game is going to be. If Young, the #1 pick, loses to UDFA Bagent, I will never let my little brother, who is a Panthers fan, live this down.
Can’t wait for Kirk to tell us every player’s height and weight, which seems to be his go to contribution.
Next game though is Cincinnati at Baltimore. Should be a good one.
The Titans vs Jags color rush games in the early 2010s where the Jags had baby poop colored jerseys were always my favorite
To those who don’t want Al
45-40 Bears, thank me later
2016 Week 8 Jaguars vs. Titans. Never a less desirable matchup, but I put up $1500 on Tennessee to cover because it was all promotional credit on Bovada and I didn’t know I could convert it to actual money by sacrificing the original $100 bonus that I had already double-up several times. I thought I was playing with essentially play money at the time.
I was able to pay for our honeymoon because of that game
