Is there a monday night nfl football game tonight

There are few games that have been as highly anticipated on the NFL schedule as Bills-Bengals in Cincinnati to wrap up Week 17, and it has lived up to the hype. Josh Allen and Joe Burrow have never faced off, and both have their teams shaped up to be among the best teams in the NFL and legitimate Super Bowl contenders.

This game is almost certainly going to be an elimination game for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The Bills currently have the tiebreaker over the Chiefs, but a loss to Cincinnati would likely knock them out of contention for that top spot. The Bengals need to beat the Bills and have the Chiefs to lose to the Raiders in Week 18. A tie puts the Chiefs in the driver's seat for that top spot.

• Matchup: Bills at Bengals
• Location: Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio

The Bills and Chiefs have seemingly been the league's biggest rivalry over the past three years. But the Bengals in the past two seasons have inserted themselves into the conversation. The only non-Chiefs AFC team to reach the Super Bowl since 2018 is Cincinnati, which faced the Rams last year after eliminating Patrick Mahomes and Co. from the playoffs in the AFC championship, a feat Allen and the Bills have yet to accomplish.

But while the Bengals and Chiefs have now faced one another three times during the Mahomes-Burrow era, Allen and Burrow have never played each other. And the hype couldn't be much higher for the first showdown. Burrow is second among quarterbacks in the NFL in PFF offensive grade at 90.8, while Allen ranks third at 90.4.

The two quarterbacks both find themselves in the MVP discussion. Burrow has been the better passer this year, having completed 69 percent of his passes for 4,260 passing yards, 34 touchdowns and 12 interceptions to Allen's 63.4 completion percentage, 4,029 passing yards, 32 passing touchdowns and 13 picks. Allen has been more productive in the running game with 115 carries for 746 yards and seven touchdowns to Burrow's 72 carries for 247 yards and five touchdowns.

This game features more than just two standout quarterbacks, however. Fans will get to watch two of the league's best wide receivers in Stefon Diggs and Ja'Marr Chase battling to one-up the other. It will also see two premier defensive coordinators match wits with Leslie Frazier opposing Burrow, and Lou Anarumo looking to shut down Allen.
