2010s

2010 NFL season

The 59 points scored by the Eagles on November 15 are the most ever by one team on Monday Night Football.

The Monday night game between the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings was played at TCF Bank Stadium due to the roof failure at the Metrodome eight days earlier. That week's scheduled game vs the New York Giants was played at Ford Field in Detroit with a start time of 7 PM eastern and broadcast locally on FOX as to not interfere with the regularly scheduled game between Houston and Baltimore on ESPN.

The latter half of the season opening doubleheader featured the first game to not be hosted by a team in the Pacific time Zone with Kansas City hosting San Diego.

2011 NFL season

Late in the Patriots-Dolphins season opener, Ron Jaworski inadvertently uttered a profanity, for which he would apologize later in the broadcast; whether or not it was related, it would eventually be Jaworski's final season in the MNF booth.

The September 26 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins was the final appearance of Hank Williams, Jr.'s intro song "All My Rowdy Friends are Back for Monday Night (Are You Ready For Some Football)", as he would get fired from ESPN during Week 4 for comments about Adolf Hitler.

The December 19 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers was delayed twice due to power outages, one taking place before the kickoff and another during the 2nd quarter; during which the 49ers led 6–0.

2012 NFL season

The NFL locked out its officials in June. As a result, the first three weeks of the season were played with replacement officials. The lack of regular officials came to a head in the Week 3 Monday night game between Green Bay and Seattle. The game was a defensive affair as Packers led 12-7 in the closing moments of the game. On the final play Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson threw a Hail Mary pass toward the end zone. Seattle receiver Golden Tate and Packers defender M. D. Jennings each grabbed hold of the ball. In the process, one official signaled touchdown while another signaled touchback. Simultaneous possession was the final ruling which gave Seattle the touchdown and the win. However, the nearby officials missed Tate pushing Cornerback Sam Shields with both hands and causing a pass interference penalty in the process. The game's aftermath included major discussion and focus on the play forcing the NFL to reach a settlement with the regular officials. The loss also hurt the Packers in the playoff race as the team finished 11-5 behind the 11-4-1 San Francisco 49ers The loss mattered as Green Bay had to travel to San Francisco in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. A win would have assured a 1st round bye for Green Bay.

Controversy also hit MNF later in the season as the San Diego Chargers were accused of using a banned substance during their October 15 game with the Denver Broncos. It was later revealed to be Gorilla Glue a legal substance later banned by the NFL.

2013 NFL season

The October 21 game between the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants was notable because it featured Quarterback Josh Freeman scoring a 40.6 passer rating in the game. He was 20 for 53 passing with 190 yards and the only Vikings score came on a 1st quarter punt return touchdown. In contrast, Eli Manning had a good day for the Giants with a touchdown pass to cap a long 2nd quarter drive.

ESPN employee and former Chicago Bears Tight End and head Coach Mike Ditka had his number retired at halftime of the December 9 game vs the Dallas Cowboys. Though the game was a blowout in favor of Chicago, it is more notable for its temperature which was 8 °F and featured a -12 degree wind chill.

2014 NFL season

Starting in 2014, the NFL awarded ESPN broadcasting rights to an NFL Wildcard Playoff game. ESPN also obtained rights to the NFL Pro Bowl through the next eight years.

The 700th game in Monday Night Football history featured the San Francisco 49ers beating the St. Louis Rams in Week 6.
