- This 1998 game between the Patriots and the Dolphins came at a crossroads for the New England Patriots franchise. Multiple injuries had helped drop the Patriots from a 4-1 season start to 5-5, and in the days before the game team owner Robert Kraft announced that the franchise would move from Foxboro, MA to a new stadium in Hartford, CT following unsuccessful negotiations with the city of Boston, MA for a new stadium on Boston's waterfront - a move subsequently aborted the following April following collapse of a funding proposal for the Hartford stadium. With Patriot fans upset but nonetheless supportive of their team, the Patriots took to the field for an important AFC Eastern Division match-up with the Dolphins. The Dolphins held a 23-19 lead in the final two minutes of the game, and on the Patriots' final possession quarterback Drew Bledsoe broke his right index finger after striking the helmet of lineman Todd Rucci. A botched timeout call in which Patriots coach Pete Carroll called for timeout but the players, not seeing him, ran a successful fourth down conversion, led to a red zone showdown between the Bledsoe-led Patriots offense and the Miami Dolphins' stiffening defense.
- The last game before their bye week of the 2003 season, the New England Patriots took on the Denver Broncos, a foe they had long struggled against; they had won ten of their first eighteen match-ups against the Broncos in the 1960s, then split four 1970s meetings before losing eleven straight against John Elway's Bronco teams; the Patriots finally won again after Elway's retirement, winning two straight before dropping two straight entering this 2003 match-up. The Broncos were surging toward the 2003 playoffs under the stewardship of coach Mike Shanahan, having recovered from a 6-10 1999 season, the first following Elway's retirement. Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jake Plummer was the Broncos' new QB, but Plummer and backup Steve Buerlein were out with injuries, leaving journeyman Danny Kanell to control the football on Denver's possessions. The heart of the Broncos, though, was their defense and their running game, and they pounced to an early 7-0 lead before Tom Brady nailed a 66-yard touchdown pass to wide-out Deion Branch late in the first quarter. The Broncos scored twice more before a late kick return by Bethel Johnson set up an Adam Vinitiari field goal that left the halftime score 17-13 in favor of Denver. Late in the fourth the Patriots trailed 24-23 but were backed up at their one-yard line, and it was here that Patriots coach Bill Belichick called for taking a deliberate safety, putting the score 26-23 but allowing the Patriots to kick the ball from their 20 yard line. An unexpected bounce off a poor punt by Ken Walter put the Broncos deep in their territory, and a three-and-out Broncos possession gave the Patriots one last chance to pull an upset in Invesco Field.
- Week Ten of MNF saw the Philidelphia Eagles visit the Dallas Cowboys in a match-up of NFC East opponents. The Eagles were fresh off their first loss of the year, a 27-3 thumping by the Pittsburgh Steelers, while the Cowboys under coach Bill Parcells were struggling with a losing record barely a year after making the playoffs for the first time since 1999. The broadcast became infamous for a skit aired in the broadcast's opening - spoofing their weekly series Desperate Housewives, ABC aired a sketch in which Nicollete Sheridan's character Edie Britt enters the locker room and strips in front of Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens before the game to seduce him, and succeeds. Later, with the Eagles holding a big lead, came a humorous incident between Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and Owens - the week before, Owens lashed out at McNabb on the sidelines and McNabb ignored him; this week the two players spoofed the widely-aired scene by having McNabb follow Owens down the sideline haranguing him with Owens ignoring it. The game itself settled into a three-score Eagles lead with the Cowboys trying desperately to get something going.
