The Kansas City Chiefs were victorious last Thursday in their Week 1 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, allowing some extra time off between games. Players used the additional days away from the field in various ways, including an appearance on ESPN.
Chiefs All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones joined ESPN’s ManningCast on Monday night. The San Francisco 49ers’ defeat of the New York Jets took a backseat to Jones’ unique form of entertainment. Eli and Peyton Manning requested that Jones do an impression of NBC Sports commentator Cris Collinsworth calling the game.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card round of last year’s AFC Playoffs was the original version of the Collinsworth video that made the rounds on social media.
Jones’ brief moment as Collinsworth may not have been spot on, but it was comical enough to get the Manning brothers laughing with approval. Kansas City will return on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, visiting the Atlanta Falcons on September 22nd. Many will be curious to hear the response from the man, who will likely call the game alongside Mike Tirico.
