During the 1980s, 1990s, and even into the 2000s, America asked itself one question every Monday night in the fall: Are you ready for some football? For years, the answer was a resounding "yes", reflected in the NFL consistently ranking as the highest-rated program of the week whenever it aired. In this episode, we examine the rise and fall of the Steelers' remarkable streak of home Monday night victories, and how that run coincided with both the peak and the gradual decline of the Monday Night Football broadcast itself.
