??? That's not true at all. In the aftermath of 9/11, the NFL cancelled *all* of the Week 2 (Sept 16th) games, including the Monday night Baltimore at Minnesota game, and rescheduled them at the end of the season, in the week of January 6, 2002, pushing all post-season games back one week to accommodate the extra week.
The nationwide grounding of all planes only lasted for two days, and all flights were running by the time the Baltimore-Minnesota game would originally have been played on Sept 17th.

Re; 9/11 The NFL was hoping to do the Jets/Raiders game that week on Monday Night, on ESPN while ABC carried the regularly-scheduled game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Mennisota Vikings, but they chnaged that because the airlines were still closed.--

I do remember it happening because of the World Series in 87- in Minnesota, between the Broncos and Vikings. Has i had a dish in those days, i saw the game, even though ABC was to show the original MNF game nationally expect for the Denver and Minnesota markets. so has it happened since then?
