If you didn't get enough NFL yesterday, you've got another six-plus hours of football to look forward to tonight with the last Monday Night Football doubleheader of the season.
We get started in Detroit with a matchup between two of the best NFC teams through the first six weeks of the season. Baker Mayfield is playing at MVP level in leading the Buccaneers to a 5-1 start. The Bucs face a tough road test against the 4-2 Lions, who are one of the most balanced teams in the league with a defense led by Aidan Hutchinson and an offense that has found success both through the air and on the ground.
Next up, we head west to Seattle for a contest featuring the 4-2 Seahawks and 2-3 Texans. After starting the season with three straight losses, the Texans have won two in a row to get back in the AFC playoff discussion. They'll face a Seahawks team that has actually been better on the road (3-0) than at home (1-2) this year, which is surprising given Seattle's usual home field advantage.
The Buccaneers and Lions kick off at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT) on ABC and ESPN followed by the Texans and Seahawks at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT) on ESPN.
If you're looking for the ManningCast, you won't find it for either of tonight's games. The brothers Manning have the night off and will return next week.

If you don't have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch tonight's games with a live TV streaming service. You can also stream both games using ESPN's new direct-to-consumer streaming service.
ESPN DTC launched last month and comes in two flavors. The ESPN Unlimited plan costs $30 a month (or $300 a year) and lets you stream all of ESPN's linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, ESPN Deportes, SEC Network and ACC Network. You also get access to programming on ESPN on ABC, ESPN Plus, ESPN3, SECN Plus and ACCNX.
For NFL fans, this new ESPN streaming service will let you watch every Monday Night Football game as well as the ManningCast for the 12 weeks it airs (11 weeks during the regular season and a Wild Card playoff game).
There's also a $12-a-month ESPN Select plan, which is basically a rebranding of ESPN Plus. With it, you'll have access to thousands of live games (think small college conferences, whose games you can't watch anywhere else) but not the NFL.
You can save $10 a month and get the ESPN DTC and Fox One bundle for $40 a month.
YouTube TV costs $83 a month and includes ESPN and ABC, and the rest of the channels you need to watch NFL games week in and week out. Right now, the first three months are discounted to $73 a month, and there is a free 10-day trial. Plug in your ZIP code on YouTube TV's welcome page to see which local networks are available in your area. Read our YouTube TV review.
Hulu Plus Live TV costs $83 a month and includes ESPN and ABC and the rest of the NFL channels in most markets. On its live news page, you can enter your ZIP code under the "Can I watch local news in my area?" question at the bottom of the page to see which local channels you get. Read our Hulu Plus Live TV review.
Fubo recently introduced a $56-per-month skinny bundle for sports fans that includes ESPN and ABC as well as CBS, Fox and NFL Network, but it does not include NBC. To also get NBC for Sunday Night Football, you need to spring for Fubo's standard plan that costs $85 a month. Click here to see which local channels you get. Read our Fubo review.
Sling's Orange plan costs $46 a month and includes ESPN but none of the other channels you need to watch the NFL this season. To get ESPN along with ABC, NBC, Fox and NFL Network, you would need to get the $61-a-month Sling Orange and Blue plan. But even then, you wouldn't get CBS for its Sunday afternoon games, making Sling a poor fit for NFL fans. Read our Sling TV review.
All the live TV streaming services above allow you to cancel anytime and require a solid internet connection. Looking for more information? Check out our live TV streaming services guide.
An over-the-air TV antenna provides another option to watch the game on ABC. The best part about antennas is that there are no streaming or monthly fees required, although you will need to make sure you have good reception.
