Two members of the “No Fly Zone” secondary took a page out of Peyton and Eli Manning’s playbook last week.
Following the success of the “ManningCast,” former Denver Broncos cornerbacks Chris Harris and Aqib Talib joined James Palmer for an “Alt Cast” of last week’s preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.
Due to the NFL’s broadcasting restrictions, the alternate broadcast was only available to stream in Colorado, but the team shared a few of the highlights on their Twitter/X page.
Talib reflected on the team’s 29-10 win over the Green Bay Packers during the 2015 season. That victory improved Denver to 7-0 and dropped Green Bay to 6-1:
“That was an epic game right there. … That was a stepping stone for us.”@ChrisHarrisJr & @AqibTalib21 reflect on the 2015 #GBvsDEN matchup:

Talib and Harris also reacted to Tim Patrick’s comeback from back-to-back injuries.
“Me and Chris knew he was going to be good because he would come out and he was the ultimate competition, man,” Talib said. “Every day, he tried to smash us.”

Update: The Broncos uploaded a 21-minute highlight video from the broadcast on their YouTube page:
The alternate broadcast was well-received by fans in Colorado.

Huge thank you to everyone who tuned it last night to watch the No Fly Zone altcast for the #broncos and #packers game. @AqibTalib21 and @ChrisHarrisJr absolutely brought it. I hope everyone that watched learned as much about the game as I did! Also a shout out to @cjandersonb22…

Judging from Sunday’s success, this probably won’t be the last time we see an alternate broadcast for a Broncos preseason game.
