ABC is loading up on a slew of extra NFL games in a bid to bolster its fall schedule.
The Disney-owned network has added 10 Monday Night Football simulcasts to its strike-hit schedule.
The broadcast network is hoping that games such as the Seahawks at the NY Giants or the 49ers at the Vikings can help shore up viewing figures.
