Or am I seeing a replay of one

I must not be paying attention
When did this become a thing?

8 years really?
Seemed a bit odd so I hit up the Google
“It's the result of an 11-year media rights agreement the NFL finalized in March 2021.”

It's happening again next week, too, apparently. I don't remember this ever happening. I don't know where I've been.

Don't trust Google's AI search result bullcrap.

So was that a one off thing or has it actually been a thing every season.
There’s multiple sources that say the deal was finalized in 21 and implemented for the 22 season.

2021 is the only season they haven't done it at least once since 2016.
Edit: and you know what? I was wrong. It actually has happened every year since 2006, ever since ESPN has had MNF: https://www.nfl.com/schedules/2006/REG1/

I’m pretty sure that they have had MNF double headers since 2016 on opening weekend but to have them on other than opening weekend is more recent (1-2 years).
