ESPN treated the undefeated Green Packers to the full football treatment on Monday on all its platforms – saturation coverage for a team that started that day 8-0, and waltzed through the night to 9-0.

It marked the only time the Packers will play on "Monday Night Football" this season. In the 2010 season the Packers also played just one game on Monday night.

But even though Packers are playing the disappointing 4-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Lambeau Field, Fox is sending its lead broadcast team to handle the telecast.

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are on the call. The Tampa Bay-Green Bay telecast is going to 39% of the country, while an NFC East rivalry game, Dallas at Washington, is going to 31% of the country. Fox’s number two announcing team of Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston and Tony Siragusa will handle Cowboys-Redskins.

Buck and Aikman are calling their second Packers game together this season – they also announced the Packers at Bears game on Sept. 25. Aikman and Thom Brennaman called the Packers at Vikings telecast on Oct. 23 when Buck was taken up with the World Series telecasts on Fox.

Buck and Aikman in fact will call the next three games the Packers play on national television.

Besides the game Sunday, they will handle the Packers at Lions telecast on Thanksgiving Day and the Packers at Giants telecast, which is in the late afternoon window on Dec. 4. A spokesman for Fox has said the Packers at Giants telecast will not be flexed into the "Sunday Night Football" slot on Dec. 4. Fox will protect that telecast from being moved, which is its right under the current agreement.

Undefeated teams get a ton of scrutiny by the networks that cover the National Football League – no pebble is left unturned when it comes to that team.

As evidence, we cite a feature that will air on ESPN "Sunday NFL Countdown," which now stretches over three hours, starting at 9 a.m. ESPN reporter Chris Connelly will offer feature about Todd Rundgren's 1983 "Bang the Drum All Day," and how the tune came to be played after every Packers touchdown at Lambeau Field.

ESPN provided a tease to that feature:
