Everything seemed hunky-dory in Los Angeles until the Cardinals came to town and brought the Rams back to reality.
TWEETS ABOUT MNF GAME FULL
With DeAndre Hopkins also making his return last week (two receptions for 32 yards and a score), the Cardinals' passing attack is at full strength for the Rams rematch and they're coming off an ideal performance where their game plan is anyone's guess. An impressive performance on MNF to complete a season sweep of the Rams will only help that effort, and a home crowd that hasn't seen its star QB in well over a month will offer a pop that would conjure a significant moment that's so often laced within an MVP campaign. Murray still accounted for all four of Arizona's touchdowns - throwing for two and rushing for another pair - to bring his TD total on the season to 24 (19 passing, five rushing) and climb back into MVP contention. Ending a three-game absence last week in Chicago, Murray's return from injury was tempered amid a stress-free victory which warranted just 15 passing attempts from the Cardinals quarterback. Here are four things to watch for when the Cardinals host the Rams on Monday night: With star quarterbacks going up against high-flying defenses, the table is set for a showdown in the desert. For the Rams, this a must-win game for their divisional hopes. Currently holding the best record in the NFL, the Cardinals can clinch a playoff berth with a win and inch closer to an NFC West title that has eluded the franchise since 2015. Rams-Cardinals is a rematch of divisional foes looking to improve their place within the NFC playoff picture. The league's schedule-makers can take a bow with this late-season Monday Night Football matchup. ET (ESPN) | State Farm Stadium (Glendale, Ariz.)Įditor's note: The Rams placed star cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Tyler Higbee on their reserve/COVID-19 list, knocking both players out of the game. It’s the Giants and the Steelers to kick off Monday Night Football 2020.
TWEETS ABOUT MNF GAME SERIES
The Giants lead the all time series between the two venerable franchises, 44-30-3, but the Steelers have won the last two meetings and three of the last four. The Giants have a new coaching staff this year, led by head coach Joe Judge, who looks to get his head coaching career off to a winning start against a tough Steelers team. If Daniel Jones can continue to develop at quarterback, the Giants have the potential for a high octane offense of their own this year. Evan Engram is a matchup nightmare at tight end, and Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton present problems for opponents at wide receiver.
Saquon Barkley was hurt most of last year, but he is healthy now, and when healthy he may be the most talented back in the NFL. The Giants answer with riches of their own. JuJu Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, James Washington, Eric Ebron and talented rookie Chase Claypool create an embarrassment of riches for Big Ben to target, and if he’s healthy the Steelers should be capable of putting up plenty of points.
Things did not go well with the backup quarterbacks, but Big Ben is back tonight, presumably healthy, and the Steelers look to get back to their high octane offense, featuring a bevy of good young receivers. The Steelers had a rare down year last year when their quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, injured his throwing arm and was out for almost the entire season.
Tonight the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to New Jersey to take on the New York Giants. The first Monday Night game of the 2020 NFL regular season, and the first game of tonight’s Monday Night Football doubleheader.
