Are you ready? ESPN will have historic Monday night NFL wild-card playoff game through 2025 season

The NFL playoffs aren't going to limit their games to the weekend anymore.

ESPN and the NFL reached a five-year deal, starting this season, to present a wild-card game on Monday night. The network announced that with a news release. There has never been a scheduled NFL playoff game for prime time outside of Saturday or Sunday.

There will be a Manningcast for it too. ESPN and ABC will have the normal broadcast with Steve Levy, Brian Griese and Louis Riddick in the booth, with Lisa Salters and John Parry contributing.
