The Best Topps Football Cards for MNF and TNF
Monday night and Thursday nights are primetime for football fans who want to make their voice heard! For Monday night’s Week 9 tilt, we have Baker Mayfield and a seemingly unstoppable Tampa Bay offense (even with their incredibly long list of injuries) against the undefeated and the offensively unspectacular Kansas City. Does Baker and Co. have what it takes to deliver Patrick Mahomes his first loss since December 25, 2023?
For the kickoff to Week 10’s Thursday game, we have a divisional matchup between Cincinnati and Baltimore when the stakes couldn’t be higher. Baltimore inconceivably lost to Cleveland in Week 7 and Philadelphia in Week 8. However, Cincinnati racked up an easy win over Las Vegas in Week 9 and, at 4-5, is still in the race to win the division, with Baltimore also losing to Cleveland in Week 8 and sitting at 6-3.
So now, as the seasons change and the wind blows a chill through the air at the midpoint of the season, we’ve gathered a couple of cards from these teams that superfans need to collect—one offensive legend and one defensive legend from past 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!
