New year, new Bills?
With the ball set to drop on Wednesday night, the "Monday Night Football" matchup does, indeed, show that there are new Bills on both sidelines, with the Buffalo Bills taking on Bill Belichick and the Patriots in Foxborough.
Josh Allen and the Bills made good on prophecies this season, clinching the AFC East with a few weeks left to play in the regular season. While some thought that the Week 16 matchup would have had division implications, it does not: the Bills can improve their playoff standing heading in, but the Patriots are donezo heading into the winter.

The Bill on the other sideline has some work to do entering the 2021 season, and it starts at quarterback. While Cam Newton signing, on paper, put fear into the hearts of division foes, Newton's performance has been anything but fearsome in 2020. Tossing five touchdowns to 10 interceptions on the season, Newton has been a force on the ground (11 touchdowns) but questions surrounding his long-term viability as a starter have been raised with his rough passing performances this season.
The Bills and the Bill have swapped roles in 2020, truly proving to be a bizarre year to remember, and they meet one last time in the 2020 "Monday Night Football" finale tonight.
Below is more about the matchup, plus everything to know about how to watch "Monday Night Football."

Josh Allen and the Bills are used to playing under the bright lights of primetime, with their fourth primetime matchup of the season, and their third in the last four weeks.

What channel is 'Monday Night Football' on tonight?
ESPN reportedly is trying to negotiate a better TV rights deal with the NFL to negotiate more games in the future, but in 2020, the network's only package of NFL games is the complete slate of Monday night games. The network will broadcast all "Monday Night Football" games in 2020 on its flagship ESPN channel.
ESPN is available on most cable systems in the United States. The network also is available via satellite providers DirecTV (Channel 206) and Dish Network (Channel 140) as well as IPTV providers AT&T U-verse (Channel 602 for SD; Channel 1602 for HD), Verizon Fios (Channel 70 for SD; Channel 570 for HD) and Google Fiber (Channel 21).
ESPN has a new lineup of commentators for its "Monday Night Football" broadcasts in 2020 after moving on from last year's broadcast booth duo of Joe Tessitore and Booger McFarland. Steve Levy (play-by-play), Brian Griese (analyst) and Louis Riddick (analyst) will call all Monday night games for ESPN this season. Lisa Salters is still the network's sideline reporter.
NFL live stream for 'Monday Night Football'
