Last Monday's Packers-Vikings game offered tons of drama and excitement. Monday Night Football doesn't necessarily deliver the goods week-in and week-out, but sportsbook bettors usually get treated to one or two instant classics every year. Let's review some of the more epic Monday Night Football games of the past few years.

Cowboys 41, Eagles 37
September 15, 2008

This was a wild one that included lead changes, highlight reel efforts and ridiculous bloopers. The first 17 minutes saw a 70-yard touchdown by Terrell Owens, a 98-yard kick return touchdown by Felix Jones and back-to-back Philly scores just 14 seconds apart. The most memorable moment came when DeSean Jackson raced toward the end zone for a would-be touchdown. His celebration came prematurely, however, as he dropped the ball in celebration just before he crossed the goal line.

Cowboys 25, Bills 24
October 8, 2007

When heartbreak is involved, the Bills usually aren't far behind. Thanks to a positively absurd six turnovers by Tony Romo—including two picks for touchdowns—Buffalo held a 24-13 lead entering the fourth quarter. Yet Romo rallied, leading the Cowboys to nine points in the final 20 seconds. He drove Dallas 80 yards for a score with just 20 ticks left on the clock; one onside kick and a few pass plays later, Nick Folk's 53-yard kick crushed Buffalo's soul. If you had the Bills' NFL betting line, we feel sorry for you.

Bears 24, Cardinals 23
October 16, 2006

Yes, this game gave us Dennis Green's famous "They Were Who We Thought They Were" tirade. Chicago turned the ball over six times and scored just three points on offense yet, despite trailing 23-3 with a few minutes left in the third quarter, staged an absurd comeback. Three touchdowns later—two on fumble returns, another on a punt return—and the Bears put on a show for anybody who bothered to stay up and finish the game. We're betting management knew there and then that Green was finished.

Colts 38, Buccaneers 35
October 6, 2003

Largely thanks to a three-touchdown effort by Keenan McCardell, the Buccaneers enjoyed a huge lead almost all night, including a crushing pick-six by Ronde Barber that made the score 35-14 with about four minutes left. It wasn't enough; Peyton Manning guided the Colts to three quick touchdowns and sent the game to overtime. Mike Vanderjagt missed a game-winning kick but—after being bailed out by a dubious penalty against Tampa—he made his second attempt to finish off one of the greatest comebacks that no NFL bet could have predicted.
