Maybe they'll have something better than Atlanta vs San Diego

NEW YORK (The Hollywood Reporter) --- Much to the chagrin of Fox and CBS, the NFL might give ABC's "Monday Night Football" a boost next year by moving games from the league's Sunday schedule to Monday night during the last four weeks of the season.

NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue said Monday that the league will allow those four games to be switched in order to give "MNF" a game that has playoff implications.

"We will ensure that there will be attractive games in all the time slots on Sunday and on Monday nights," Tagliabue said at the annual NFL owners meeting in Orlando. "I think we can make it a win-win situation. We would make sure that CBS and Fox both have strong programming late in the season."
