NFL Monday Night Football Double Headers Needs To Be Back To Back Not Overlap

What is your favorite day of the week to watch NFL football?

Fans online are tired of the Monday Night Football games' double headers overlapping, and I strongly agree with this sentiment. The first game starts at 7:00 p.m. EST/4:00 p.m. Pacific, and the second game starts an hour later. Sure, you can go back and forth, especially during halftime, and you can catch the last quarter of the second game, but what if both games are exciting barn burners?

I would much rather see the first game start an hour earlier at 6 pm, with the second game starting at 9 pm. Yes, that means the second game won't end until after midnight, but is forty minutes much different? I'm more worried about missing a good game than I am about getting to bed early.

This probably won't work for those who have kids or with early morning jobs, but surely there is a solution out there. I mean, if the NFL could convince the world that it's not a front to sell food with Uber Eats, then they could probably come up with a better plan. My ultimate suggestion is to put a game on Tuesday or Wednesday night. More football works for me.

What do you think the solution is? Comment below with your thoughts.
