It could be a challenge. But we think we hit the sweet spot."

Stapleton shared a preview of the opening on social media. The full clip will include NFL stars, game highlights and more.

The new theme will make its debut Monday, September 18, as part of Monday Night Football's "Two Games One Night" special airing on ESPN and ABC.
