What time are the NFL games tonight? TV schedule, channels for 'Monday Night Football' doubleheader image

NFL fans are in for a treat Monday night, as Week 6 features a doubleheader on primetime.

The two matchups overlap with the first game between the Bills and Falcons starting at 7:15 p.m. ET and the Bears vs. Commanders matchup beginning at 8:15 p.m. ET.

These aren't the most premier contests, but both should be competitive. The Bears and Commanders feature two young quarterbacks, selected No. 1 and No. 2 in the 2024 NFL Draft. While Jayden Daniels has had a better start to his career thus far, it doesn't mean Caleb Williams can't outplay him.

The other game also features a 2024 NFL Draft quarterback as Michael Penix Jr. and the Falcons host the Bills. Penix was the eighth overall selection and will go head-to-head with reigning MVP Josh Allen.

The Bills are the best team on the slate, holding a 4-1 record. The Falcons and Bears are both 2-2, while the Commanders are 3-2.
