2011 NFL season[]
Late in the New England Patriots–Miami Dolphins season opener, Ron Jaworski inadvertently uttered a profanity, for which he apologized 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 Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys was the final appearance (until 2017) 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 the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks. The game was a defensive affair as the Packers led 12–7 in the closing moments of the game. On the final play, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw a Hail Mary pass toward the end zone. Seahawks wide 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 Packers 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 first round bye for Green Bay. The game was called the Fail Mary.
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.
The December 2 game between the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks in Seattle was a much hyped game because of the high powered Saints offense led by quarterback Drew Brees was taking the ferocious defense of the Seahawks with the Legion of Boom. The game, however, was a blowout, with the Seahawks winning 34–7.
ESPN employee and former Chicago Bears tight end and head coach Mike Ditka had his number retired at halftime of the December 9 game versus the Dallas Cowboys. Though the game was a blowout in favor of Chicago 45–28, it is more notable for its temperature which was 8 °F and featured a −12 degree wind chill.
The December 23 game between the Atlanta Falcons and the San Francisco 49ers was the last game ever at Candlestick Park.

2020 NFL season[]
The Week 2 game between the New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders, the first ever NFL game in Las Vegas, was simulcast on ESPN, ABC, and ESPN2 as part of ESPN's Megacast production. This was the first regular season Monday Night Football game on ABC since the end of the 2005 season. The 2021 Pro Bowl, which was also going to be played in Las Vegas and simulcast on ABC, was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, ESPN, ABC, and the NFL combined to air a two-hour special, honoring the selected Pro Bowlers.
Following a strong Week 2 simulcast, ABC simulcast the Buffalo Bills-San Francisco 49ers (played in Glendale instead of Santa Clara due to Santa Clara County imposing a ban on professional sports contests in response to COVID-19) and Buffalo Bills-New England Patriots games, and Megacast their Super Wild Card Playoff Game across ESPN, ABC, ESPN Deportes, ESPN2, ESPN+, and Freeform.

2021 NFL season[]
In the offseason, ESPN and the NFL agreed to a new contract that will see ESPN keep MNF, ABC expand their involvement with more games, including the Super Bowl, and ESPN+ airing an International game, plus rights to stream all MNF games. Along with those perks, ESPN will air a Saturday doubleheader, during the final weekend of the season, with both games having major playoff implications. The games will kick off at 4:15 ET and 8:15 ET. Both games will be simulcast on ABC. Because of this, ESPN dropped the Week 1 doubleheader, in favor of the Week 18 doubleheader. This will be the first time since ABC's last year airing MNF that there would be no Week 1 doubleheader.
As part of a 3-year partnership with Peyton Manning’s new production company, Omaha Productions, ESPN2 and ESPN+ will air 10 editions of a newly-revamped Monday Night Megacast, which will feature Peyton and Eli Manning, along with special guests. The first three games of the season will have the Megacast broadcast, while ESPN will select 7 more games later in the season.
