The 2-3 New York Jets returned home losers from London last week, and they turned around and fired head coach Robert Saleh. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was named the interim head coach, and he immediately shook up the staff by demoting offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and replacing him with Todd Downing, who previously held the title of passing game coordinator. The big question with the new-look Jets is how quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has a close relationship with Hackett, will respond.
The 3-2 Buffalo Bills lead the AFC East but bring a two-game losing streak into Monday Night Football as Josh Allen and the offense has struggled to move the ball consistently. For all the turmoil in New York, the Jets can move into a first-place tie in the division with a win on Monday night.
The Bills and Jets kick off tonight at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT) on ESPN and ABC. You can flip over to ESPN2 during the game to catch the ManningCast with brothers Peyton and Eli, the popular alternative broadcast where the former NFL greats analyze the game and chat with different guests each week.
If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch Monday Night Football with a live TV streaming service. The good news for football fans is that ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 are available on all five major streaming services.
Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets host the Buffalo Bills tonight in an AFC East showdown on Monday Night Football.
How to watch MNF without cable
The key channel for Monday Night Football is ESPN. Nearly every Monday night game will be shown on ESPN, with seven weeks also appearing on ABC and ESPN Plus. The only time you won’t be able to watch a MNF game on ESPN is during a week when there is a doubleheader. There are two more Monday night doubleheaders scheduled for this season in Weeks 7 and 15. During these weeks, one game will be on ESPN and the other will be on ABC and ESPN Plus.
You can also watch Monday Night Football on ABC for most weeks left in the season; weeks 10 and 13 will be shown on ESPN only.
The ManningCast on ESPN2 is scheduled for most Monday nights during the season and one Wild Card game, with six of those regular-season Monday nights and the Wild Card game also streaming on ESPN Plus.
