Time, channel for Monday Night Football

The same name game is now the name change game.

The Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars meet again in the first of two games on ‘Monday Night Football’ in Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season. What was once a matchup that featured one Josh Allen trying to sack another Josh Allen is now a matchup between Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen after Hines-Allen announced he would be changing his name this offseason as a family tribute.

It’s also a game between an AFC contender that looks the part through two weeks and one that doesn’t.

Jacksonville is off to an 0-2 start after losses to the Dolphins and Browns, and an offense that’s still sputtering in Trevor Lawrence’s fourth season appears to be the primary culprit. The Jaguars need more from Lawrence, explosive rookie Brian Thomas Jr., former Bills receiver Gabe Davis and running back Travis Etienne if they’re going to return to the playoffs and contend with the Houston Texans in the AFC South.

Buffalo, meanwhile, looked ready to win another AFC East title in its last game – a 31-10 drubbing of the Miami Dolphins that was already becoming a blowout before Tua Tagovailova left with another concussion. Allen only needed to be an efficient 13 of 19 for 139 yards and running back James Cook had three touchdowns.
