The NFL just made a surprising decision ahead of Monday Night Football in Week 2. 

The New Orleans Saints will battle the Carolina Panthers in the 6:15 C.T. game on Monday night. Before it, the league will unveil a new Monday Night Football anthem. 

Adam Schefter tweeted a preview of the new game intro. It includes Chris Stapleton, Snoop Dogg, and Cindy Blackman Santana.

The trio is performing a rendition of "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. They'll have a tall task because that is a classic sports anthem. 

Check out the new anthem prior to tonight's NFC South showdown. The Saints look to go 2-0 to start the season, while the Panthers try to get their first victory of the young season.
