Are you ready for the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football?

Are you ready for the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football?

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) – As we wait for the NFL schedule to be fully released, we received a tease Tuesday morning that will excite some members of the Bills Mafia.

On Good Morning America announcing the first Monday Night Football game of the year, playmaker Joe Buck mentioned the Bills as a team they expect to feature twice this season.

“We know we also have the Cowboys twice, and we have the Chiefs twice, and we have the Bills twice, and another meeting with the 49ers, so that’s exciting,” Buck told Lara Spencer. “We’re all looking forward to the full schedule being released tomorrow, as you said, but it’s certainly shaping up to be another great year for Monday Night Football.”

According to NFL Vice President of Broadcasting Mike North, teams can be scheduled to play six times in prime time when the schedule is first released. They may later be incorporated into an additional primetime game. The league considers “prime time” any game that is not played on a Sunday afternoon.

“We’re not taking our foot off the gas with the Bills,” North said. “I don’t think there’s any doubt that they have one of the best players in the league and that’s must-see TV we’re talking about here.”

The full NFL schedule is scheduled to be released Wednesday, May 15 at 8:00 p.m. on ESPN 2 and NFL Network.
