When did this start and who thought it was a good idea?
MNF Playoffs?

I believe last year was the first year. It's odd for sure. Why not 3 on Saturday, 3 on Sunday. $$$$ is my guess. Lame though.

Following the 2021 season. 4 years.
Greedall thought it was a good idea
Should be 3 Saturday, 3 Sunday. Morning game, early afternoon game and a night game each day.
Somehow, someway it relates to more $$$ in the NFL's pockets.

The Rams played the MNF game in the playoffs the year we won the Super Bowl.
I think the 4/5 seeds in the NFC play on MNF.

So when they changed the format to have only one team with a bye?

The second year.
I actually don't mind it all. I've enjoyed having the Monday night playoff game, and I'll enjoy it a week from now as well.
I don't mind not having the earlier Saturday game either; frees up my Saturday morning before settling in to watch some football.

I do like that the Rams play Monday night. I'll be able to just have it on my phone, on silent, so I don't have to have listen to them gob on McVay all night.

Was that when the fix was in and they didn't call the obvious opi on the Rams vs Saints?

By the way, what a shocker that they made the Texans v Chargers the early Saturday game.

Because that's where they always put the least sexy wildcard matchup. The Saturday early game is the redheaded stepchild of wildcard slots.

It's the f**k Dean Spanos rule. If his team make the playoffs they have to play on the East Coast in the 10:00 spot on Saturday to make it as hard for them as possible.
It's an excellent rule.

I'm good with it as well. Generating extra revenue whilst minimising the risk to players is a good thing. I'm also a big fan of having the #7 seed play at the #2 seed. Those 2 extra playoff games generate a huge amount of revenue for just 2 more games.
He who pays the piper (the Networks) call the tune but it does go against the plans to expand interest into Europe.
An Early Sunday game would be 6pm kick off for me which is perfect, instead I sleep though a game which starts at 1am Tuesday morning.
