@wisconsinworld: The first Monday Night Football game after the September 11 attacks took place on September 24, 2001. The Green Bay Packers defeated Washington 37-0 at Lambeau Field. ABC's Al Michaels welcomes a grieving nation back to MNF and an emotional scene at Lambeau Field, as Packers  linebacker and U.S. Air Force Academy graduate Chris Gizzi runs the American flag onto the field. Country music singer Martina McBride performed a deeply moving rendition of the national anthem and prompting the sold-out crowd to chant "U.S.A., U.S.A." and join in singing.
