Or am I seeing a replay of one

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

Pardon my ignorance, had no clue

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.

First MNF doubleheader, week 1, Monday September 12th 2016. Steelers beat Washington 38-16, 49ers beat Rams, 28-0.
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.

2017: https://www.nfl.com/schedules/2017/REG1/
2018: https://www.nfl.com/schedules/2018/REG1/
2019: https://www.nfl.com/schedules/2019/REG1/
2020: https://www.nfl.com/schedules/2020/REG1/
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).
