ESPN’s Week Seven NFL coverage is highlighted by the return of Monday Night Football with Peyton & Eli, as well as six live games from Friday to Tuesday AEDT.
The Week Seven coverage begins on Friday at 11.15am AEDT when the Denver Broncos take on the Cleveland Browns.
Denver are looking to rally following a Week Six defeat to the Raiders in a highly competitive affair, and they face a Browns team on the losing side of the coin last round.
Questions remain as to the need for change in Cleveland, following an average opening to the new campaign.
Monday sees a bumper lineup of NFL action with four games live on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN App.
First up at 4am AEDT on ESPN is the clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tennessee Titans.
Kansas City responded last round with a solid win over Washington and need to get rolling after a 3-3 start to the season, that still has them bottom of the AFC West.
The Titans are a side who have had their own up and down thrill ride so far, with upset wins, including a heart stopper in Week Six against Buffalo.
Both bring the points, with offence expected to dominate, as both look for some consistency in their season.
Also at 4am AEDT, on both ESPN2 and the ESPNApp, the Carolina Panthers will meet the New York Giants.
Carolina will be heavily favored to take victory, given the Giants struggles so far this season.
The Giants were comfortably beaten last round by the Rams 38-11 and at 1-5, the home fans will be looking for a response on home soil at MetLife Stadium in New York.
At 7.25am AEDT the Chicago Bears travel to take on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won three in a row after accounting for New England, Miami and Philadelphia in recent weeks.
Tom Brady has his injury-plagued offence firing in the last month, making it a difficult trip to Raymond James Stadium for the Bears.
Finally, Monday’s coverage concludes at 11.15am AEDT as the San Francisco 49ers meet the Indianapolis Colts.
The 49ers have dropped the last two games in the season to fall to 2-3 and pressure is building as they lose touch with other NFC conference rivals.
Meanwhile the Colts will be eyeing this matchup closely, as they can draw within a game to the conference lead in the AFC South with victory.
Then ESPN has every angle covered for Monday Night Football on Tuesday October 26.
On ESPN from 11.15am AEDT, Steve Levy, Brian Griese and Louis Riddick bring you all the live action between the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints.
Whilst over on ESPN2, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning return after a fortnight break to provide their new take on the NFL action, with ‘MNF with Peyton & Eli’.
The Seahawks-Saints clash will see New Orleans looking to keep their positive record alive this season and see off a spirited Seattle side that were desperately unlucky in Week Six, losing in overtime.
