Who is playing Monday Night Football tonight, Jan. 16? (and how to watch)

It’s been two weeks since the last Monday Night Football game aired, but fans hoping to kick off their week with some NFL football are in luck! After sitting out Week 18 with no Monday night game last week, the NFL has scheduled an incredible matchup tonight to cap off what has been a truly stunning Super Wild Card Weekend.

Across the weekend, 10 teams took to the field in hopes of making it through to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. By the time the dust had settled on Sunday night, only five teams remain in the hunt as five others were sent packing.

Tonight, the final two Wild Card Weekend contenders will battle it out in hopes of making it through to next week and keeping their Super Bowl dreams alive. Who is playing and how can you watch? Here’s everything you need to know!

Who plays Monday Night Football tonight, January 16?

• Matchup: Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• Location: Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida

The NFL has scheduled quite an amazing game for this evening’s Monday Night Football with the No. 5 seeded Dallas Cowboys heading to Tampa Bay to face the No. 4 seeded Buccaneers. Dallas has been one of the hottest teams of the regular season, while the Buccaneers could have easily missed the playoffs altogether if not for being in one of this season’s weakest divisions.

The odds seem to be in the favor of the Cowboys who have been putting up some incredible performances this season, but you can never rule out Tom Brady and his offense which should make tonight’s game an interesting one.
