The National Football League is considering leaving the last two Monday night dates open this season in an attempt to televise meaningful games leading up to the playoffs.
“They asked us about it at the league meetings last week and everybody was very much in favor of it,” Harlan said. “It’s just whether they’ll be able to start it in (2001) or ’02.”
Harlan said the league is considering waiting until possibly three weeks before the last two Monday night games before deciding which games would have the most appeal on those last two dates.
