ESPN's 2014 "Monday Night Football" Schedule

Giants vs. Lions and Chargers vs. Cardinals in Season-Opening Doubleheader on Sept. 8

MNF Highlights:

· Appearances by both Super Bowl teams - Seattle Seahawks at Washington (Oct. 6); and Denver Broncos at Cincinnati (Dec. 22);

· Eight teams have two appearances each - Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, New York Giants, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins.

· MNF rivalry renewed - The Redskins-Cowboys game on Oct. 27 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas is the 16th MNF meeting between the longtime NFC East rivals, second only to Raiders-Broncos (17 meetings).

The 45th season of Monday Night Football will kick off on ESPN with a doubleheader Monday, September 8 - New York Giants at Detroit Lions (7 p.m. ET) and San Diego Chargers at Arizona Cardinals (10:15 p.m. / 7:15 p.m. PT). ESPN's 17-game prime time schedule in 2014 will feature all 12 playoff teams from 2013, including both the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and AFC champion Denver Broncos.

In the opener, Eli Manning and the Giants travel to the Motor City to face Matthew Stafford and the Lions. It will be the first MNF kick-off game in Detroit since September 1971, the second year of sports television's signature series.

In the late game, Philip Rivers and the Chargers - who advanced to the AFC Divisional Playoffs in 2014 - face Larry Fitzgerald and the Arizona Cardinals, who just missed the playoffs a year ago with a 10-6 record. The game will be played at University of Phoenix Stadium, which will host the 2015 Pro Bowl (on ESPN) and Super Bowl XLIX.

Play-by-play commentator Mike Tirico, analyst Jon Gruden and sideline reporter Lisa Salters will call the Giants vs. Lions, and the MNF games each week at 8:15 p.m. (kickoff at 8:30 p.m.). The commentators for the West Coast game will be announced at a later date.

All ESPN MNF games will be available on tablets and computers via WatchESPN. ESPN Deportes, ESPN's 24-hour Spanish-language domestic sports network, will also continue to offer a Spanish-language production of MNF games during the 2014 NFL season. Additional MNF "game around the game" content will be available throughout the day across ESPN platforms, including the Monday Night Countdown pregame and post-game SportsCenter. The week-by-week MNF schedule:

· Nov. 24: Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens return to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, site of their Super Bowl XLVII victory, to play Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.

December: Get ready for the cold - and elite quarterbacks Ryan, Rodgers, Brees and Peyton Manning

· Dec. 1: In the first of four December MNF games in cold weather cities, the Jets host Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins in a matchup of AFC East foes.

Postseason: MNF crew to call its first Wild Card Playoff and Pro Bowl

· Wild Card Game: ESPN will televise a Wild Card playoff game during the 2014 season, the first NFL playoff game in the company's 35-year history.

· Pro Bowl: In addition to the Wild Card game, the MNF crew will call the 2015 NFL Pro Bowl on January 25, 2015 to kick off Super Bowl XLIX week in Arizona.
