The Best Topps Football Cards for MNF and TNF
You know what time it is – it’s time to vote for who you think will win on Monday and Thursday night! For Week 10’s Monday game, we have a matchup between two teams who need to put together some wins right now if they’re going to save their 2024 season. Miami just fell to 2-6 after losing a close back-and-forth game to the Bills, but they are now healthy with Tua Tagovailoa back under center – and it’s clear his presence makes everyone better on the squad—especially De’Von Achane.
Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford and Los Angeles are also getting healthier. In recent weeks, they have welcomed Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back and got a much-needed divisional win over Seattle in Week 9. They are just one game behind Arizona with three wins in a row and standing at 4-4. Could Kyren Williams and co. pull off another late surge and make the playoffs like in the 2023 season? No matter who wins or loses, both of these offenses will put up some fireworks.
Then we kick off Week 11, Thursday night: it’s a divisional matchup with Offensive Rookie of the Year favorite (and prolific Topps Now® subject) Jayden Daniels and his Washington squad taking on Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia. The table couldn’t be set more perfectly for drama: Washington is 7-3 after losing a heartbreaker to Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia is 7-2. Washington’s defense is suspect, but their offense is phenomenal, while Philadelphia and the tush push are basically unstoppable and have a top-three defense.
This divisional matchup could be the game of the week – even if it’s the first game of Week 11.
In honor of these primetime matchups, we’ve gathered a couple of cards from these teams that superfans need to collect—one offensive legend and one defensive legend from past iconic Topps Football sets and the latest Topps Football sets: 2023 Topps Motif Football and 2023 Topps Composite Football.
Happy ripping – now, vote on who you think will win these pivotal matchups!
