Also , ESPN once again scaled back to only one opening tease for the 2018 season , as the Hollywood-themed open was dropped after two seasons . " All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night " featuring country music stars Hank Williams , Jr. and Florida-Georgia Line with R&B singer Jason Derulo returned from the previous season and is once again seen just before the opening kickoff . Due to the Thousand Oaks shooting , and the then-ongoing Northern California wildfires , the opening intro was not shown during the November 12 broadcast between Pro Bowl WR Odell Beckham Jr. and the New York Giants and Super Bowl-winning CB Richard Sherman and the San Francisco 49ers and also , the historic Chiefs-Rams game the following week ( November 19 ) . In the case of the latter , it was originally scheduled to be played at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City , but was moved to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum ( the Rams ' current home stadium , which itself last hosted a Monday Night Football game in 1985 ) due to the poor field conditions at the former . The game would be the highest scoring game in MNF history , with the Rams defeating the Chiefs by a score of 54 – 51
