Week 10 of the 2016 NFL season will close on Monday Night Football. Where will Monday Night Football be played this week?

Monday Night Football in Week 10 of the 2016 NFL season will be between the Cincinnati Bengals (3-4-1) and the New York Giants (5-3). Kickoff from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey will be at 8:30 p.m. ET. ESPN will have the telecast.

The Bengals are coming off their bye in Week 9. Cincinnati embarrassingly tied the Washington Redskins in London back in Week 8. With the Baltimore Ravens seizing control of the AFC North at 5-4, this is a must-win game for Marvin Lewis’ team. Cincinnati doesn’t want to lose any more ground in the AFC North divisional race.

New York has to feel good about itself at 5-3. The Giants would qualify for the 2016 NFC Playoffs as a Wild Card team should the season end today. New York defeated its NFC East arch nemesis in the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9 after coming off their bye in Week 8.

This will end up being one of those games where the winner has to begin thinking that it can make the NFL Playoffs. The loser may have to accept that this may not be this team’s year. New York should have the advantage in this game, but do keep in mind that Cincinnati has had an extra week to prepare for this game.

With both starting quarterbacks Eli Manning and Andy Dalton liking to go vertical in the passing game, there could be a lot of explosive plays on Monday Night Football this week. Neither team is incredibly efficient in the red zone, so it could be a low-scoring affair as well.

Monday Night Football is coming off one of its best games of the season between the Buffalo Bills and the Seattle Seahawks. This game between the Bengals and Giants has the chance to be as entertaining as last week’s primetime showing.
