I've always loved Monday Night Football dating back to my childhood days and just the thought of a Monday Night season opener excites me; it's pretty rare. 

1.) 1970 vs Cleveland (the NFL's 1st MNF game ever).

2.) 1973 vs Green Bay. 

3.) 2010 vs Baltimore.

We're 0-3 in our Monday Night Football season openers (so one could say we're due for a win).

I've seen games get out of hand like that before and it's not always an indicator of dominance by one team. It was a close game until turnovers and a ST return for a Td. Their Qb was banged up and that probably had something to do with all those picks. Before that Stafford was regularly completing key passes and receivers were beating Jets Dbs. Detroit abandoned their running game early even though the Auburn kid looked pretty good. So in a glass half empty way I'll say our problems going into the Miami game are secondary coverage which can be fixed. And overall weak pass rush which probably can't be fixed.
