Monday night NFL schedule week one

The first week of the 2017 NFL season finishes up tonight, with one of those rare Monday night double-headers. Two football games, back to back, from 7:10 p.m. until around 1:30 a.m. ET. And that second game is between the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos, so it might actually be worth staying up for.

For Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans, though, the first game of the night will be most important: the New Orleans Saints travel to Minnesota to play the Vikings. The Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers both won their first games, so a loss for the Saints would be a pretty good thing right about now.
