The defending Super Bowl Champions, Kansas City Chiefs, lost in a rematch of last season’s championship game to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, 21-17. Of course, a Monday night game calls for a Monday Night Football broadcast. And a Monday night broadcast means ESPN2’s alternate ManningCast as well.
Although Eli and Peyton Manning use their cache as former Super Bowl champions to give insight into the football world, their natural brotherly comedic timing has made their ManningCast a hit. The combination of football smarts discussing the game with their comedic but natural reactions to what’s happening gives the ManningCast a chance to create memorable moments.
During Monday night’s game, some of the moments that the Manning brothers reacted to: AJ Brown’s near strip after a Chief interception, Iowa basketball superstar Caitlyn Clark’s childhood photos, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s crucial dropped pass that could have put the Chiefs ahead of the Eagles late in the fourth quarter.
