Yes, the headline tells the tale -- if you’re here, you’re probably wondering: What’s the deal here? It’s Monday night! There’s a NFL game on ESPN+ — the Los Angeles Chargers and Arizona Cardinals — and the usual pairing of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman aren’t on the air.

What gives? There’s a simple answer.

Week 7 of 2024 features two Monday Night Football games on the same night. So if you flip from ESPN+ over to ESPN or ABC, you’ll see the Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers play … and it’s there that you’ll find Buck and Aikman calling that game.

So Chargers-Cardinals has a second team: Chris Fowler, Dan Orlovsky, Louis Riddick and Molly McGrath.

There’s your answer!
