ABC is adding more "Monday Night Football" games to its schedule for the remainder of the NFL season. ABC and ESPN will "simulcast six additional games" -- starting with Bills-Jets on Oct. 14 -- along with four previously announced contests (three simulcasts and, on Dec. 16, one exclusive to the broadcast network on a night with two games). The newly announced ABC/ESPN simulcasts will also air on Oct. 21 (Ravens-Buccaneers), Nov. 4 (Buccaneers-Chiefs), Nov. 18 (Texans-Cowboys), Nov. 25 (Ravens-Chargers) and Dec. 23 (Saints-Packers). ABC had already been set to air "MNF" games on Oct. 28 and Dec. 9, along with two Saturday games on Jan. 4, the final weekend of the league’s regular season. The additional simulcasts "came about after discussions between ABC, its Disney sibling ESPN ... and the NFL" (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 10/11).
