The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the New York Giants to close out Week 8 of the NFL season. The Steelers were already favored, but the fact that this game will be the week's 'Monday Night Football' matchup could give them even more of an edge. Pittsburgh loves playing at home on Monday nights.
not just because Steelers Nation packs out the stadium but because the Steelers have an unreal streak of winning at home when featured on 'Monday Night Football.' The streak dates back to the early 1990s and is almost unbelievable in the NFL's modern age of parity. Here's a recap of the Steeler's home win streak on 'Monday Night Football.
" NFL HQ: Live NFL scores | Updated NFL standings | Full NFL schedule Steelers 'Monday Night Football' record Pittsburgh has one of the oldest franchises in the entire NFL, founded in 1933. The first-ever 'Monday Night Football' game was played on September 21, 1970, with the New York Jets taking on the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers have dominated Mondays in their history.
All told, Pittsburgh is 56-31-1 on Monday nights since 1933. While that is impressive, the more impressive feat is that the Steelers have won 21 straight 'Monday Night Football' home games dating back to 1992. The last time that Pittsburgh lost on MNF at home? They were facing the Giants.
The final of that Week 7 game in 1991 was 23-20. It was Chuck Noll's last Monday night game, as he gave way to Bill Cowher in 1992. Cowher oversaw the first 11 wins in the Steelers' current home MNF win streak before Mike Tomlin took over in 2007 and called the shots for the next 10 home Ws on Monday night.
While the 21-game home win streak is on the line, Pittsburgh also has yet to lose on 'Monday Night Football' since moving to Heinz Field/Acrisure Stadium in 2001.

The kickoff time was moved from Sunday to Monday at 5 p.
m. ET, so even though the Steelers lost the game, it wasn't officially considered 'Monday Night Football.'.
