  • Monday Night Football is scheduled for Oct. 5 at 8:15 p.m. ET from the Caesars Superdome with ESPN carrying the Falcons at Saints telecast.
  • Reports conflict over whether ABC will simulcast Monday’s game: several outlets list an ESPN/ABC simulcast while other coverage says the game will air on ESPN only with the ManningCast alternate on ESPN2.
