The New York Jets absolutely stunned the Buffalo Bills in overtime after losing Aaron Rodgers with an injury early in the contest, and Peyton Manning called it as the dramatic walk-off score was happening.
On Monday night’s ManningCast, Peyton and Eli Manning joined former Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to provide commentary for this bizarre game’s finish, and they did not disappoint.
After the Bills posted a three-and-out, the team punted to undrafted rookie Xavier Gipson, who sprinted to the end zone on one of the most beautiful punt returns you’re likely to see this season.
As Eli Manning and Fitzpatrick looked on in awe, Peyton Manning calmly said “walk-off” during the run a few times, seamlessly calling how the electric play would end.
