The Bills approach the midway point of the season with just two wins in their first seven games. But they've got a prime-time appearance and the creature comforts of home to lift their spirits, as they try to recover from a two-game losing streak.

Here are the top seven storylines this week as the Bills get set to host Monday Night Football:

1. MONDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

It doesn't happen often for the Bills, just 42 Monday Night Football appearances in 49-years of the show. They haven't hosted a Monday Night Football game in ten years since the Browns beat Buffalo 29-27 in November 2008.

But the Bills are back on Monday night at home, 45 years to the day from their first ever Monday night game. It was October 29th, 1973, when Buffalo beat the Chiefs 23-14, and Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell, and Don Meredith were in the broadcast booth. Then Rich Stadium was just two months old, and the stadium was buzzing with prime-time excitement.

The Bills haven't won a home game on Monday Night since 1994 and they were 4-0 in Orchard Park on Mondays in the '90s.

2. FINALLY HOME

Four of Buffalo's last five games, and five of the first seven this year, have been on the road. Safe to say the Bills are looking forward to a week that doesn't end with a flight and an unfamiliar bed in a hotel.
