Roger Goodell and the NFL may have just made the most impactful regular season scheduling calls this season. The Denver Broncos led by Russell Wilson were initially supposed to face the Minnesota Vikings. There was an option for them to flex the schedule to accommodate the Joshua Dobbs-led squad but it did not push through. Rather, they now had to face off against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. It is safe to say that the league may have made the right calls despite throwing the shot in the dark.

The showdown between the Broncos and Bills had just shattered records. It became the most-watched Week 10 Monday Night football game ever on ESPN. Josh Allen and Russell Wilson's square-off attracted 17.7 million viewers across all the platforms of the renowned sports company. It even peaked at an audience of 19.8 million at one point, per ESPN PR.
