Monday Night Football’s ManningCast will return in first round of NFL playoffs

The NFL regular season has concluded so there’s no ‘Monday Night Football’ tonight, but the ‘ManningCast’ will be back for the playoffs.

After a hilarious fake search for a third host this offseason, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning returned to ESPN2 this fall for a third season of the ManningCast (without a third host).

As they have done for the past two seasons, Peyton and Eli will have special guests join them on the alternate broadcast of Monday Night Football, but they will remain the two hosts of the popular show.

Disney will continue to carry its standard MNF broadcasts on main ESPN with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman serving as the commentators for the primary broadcast. The ten alternate ManningCasts featuring Peyton and Eli will be broadcast on ESPN2 and available to stream on NFL+.

Youth football league bans Peyton Manning’s son from running ‘Tush Push’ play

Peyton Manning put a ‘Tush Push’ play in the playbook for his son, Marshall. After they ran it, their youth football league banned the play.

There has been talk in NFL circles over the last two years about the possibility of the “Tush Push” — a quarterback sneak perfected by the Philadelphia Eagles — being banned for safety and/or competitive reasons.

Even Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton hinted during the offseason that the NFL might outlaw the play. Speaking at a league meeting earlier this month, however, NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent said reports of the league planning to ban the play are false.

“Philly does it better than everyone else. That’s a fact,” Vincent said. “You won’t want to punish anyone for doing something well.”

So the play isn’t getting banned by the NFL — at least not anytime soon. Lower levels of football are a different story.

During the ManningCast of the Seahawks-Eagles game on Monday, former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning said a youth football league has banned his son’s team from running the “Tush Push” at the seventh-grade level.

“We were told after that play, the ref’s like, ‘Hey, you can’t do that,'” Manning said. “I’m like, ‘The Eagles do it in the NFL,’ he’s like, ‘This is not the NFL.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, I thought seventh grade AYL Colorado Youth Football was the NFL.’ I was confused, but that was the last time we did it. They banned it in our league.”

Manning coaches the seventh-grade Cherry Creek Bruins team that his son, Marshall, quarterbacks. He won’t get to call the “Tush Push” play for his son anymore, but Peyton clearly enjoys watching it in the NFL.

Watch the best moments from the ‘ManningCast’ in Week 15

Here are the best moments from the ManningCast last night, including Peyton Manning’s reaction to Drew Lock’s game-winning drive.

The Philadelphia Eagles have gone from one of the NFL’s hottest teams to one of the coldest, losing its third straight game against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, 20-17, in Week 15. Although the Eagles ended their night badly, it doesn’t mean the viewers didn’t, as Week 15 featured another week of the ManningCast featuring Peyton and Eli Manning.

The brothers brought their signature entertaining commentary during the game. Still, the highlight of their broadcast was bringing in NFL superstar Christian McCaffery, the running back for the San Francisco 49ers. McCaffery chimed in on the 49ers rivalry against the Eagles, flopping in the NFL, and his drill of catching passes while running backward.

The Manning brothers’ next guest on their broadcast was Houston Texans quarterback Case Keenum, who was fresh off a thrilling victory against the Tennessee Titans. Keenum talked about the win against the Titans and CJ Stroud’s maturity. 

Check out the full highlights on YouTube:

Christian McCaffrey perfectly predicted an Eagles’ offensive play because they’re so predictable

The Eagles’ offense is embarrassingly predictable.

Once considered a prime Super Bowl contender only weeks ago, the Philadelphia Eagles are seeing quite the fall from grace. With Monday night’s 20-17 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia has now lost three straight games in decisive fashion. And all Jalen Hurts has is to offer cliches about how it’s everyone else’s fault.

Part of the reason Philadelphia has struggled lately is a predictable offense. While the Eagles have talent, there appears to be very little rhyme or reason to anything they do offensively. They’re just a collection of randomly assorted plays at this point, never truly hurting a defense.

The Eagles’ offense is so predictable that even a rival like San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey perfectly understands what they’re about to run. He did so while guesting on Monday night’s Manningcast:

Oof. That is a not great look for Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni and offensive coordinator Brian Johnson. Because if McCaffrey can predict plays like this, then the 49ers’ defense almost certainly has the Eagles down pat. And if Philadelphia wants to repeat as NFC champions — a reality that seems a lot less likely now — it’ll probably have to go through San Francisco.

Woof. The Eagles better get it together, or their season will crumble faster than they think.

Case Keenum followed in Peyton Manning’s footsteps with jokes at Kevin Hart’s expense on the ManningCast

Goodness, this was a hysterical dig at Kevin Hart from Case Keenum on the ManningCast.

Even Houston Texans quarterback Case Keenum got a brutal short joke in at original ManningCast guest Kevin Hart after the comedian had to bow out of his Monday appearance.

When Eli Manning asked the fill-in guest Keenum if he could ask him the same questions that he had prepared for Hart, the quarterback obliged before hysterically lowing his chair a bit because, y’know, Hart isn’t very tall.

After Peyton Manning got in a jab at Hart earlier in the night, who could’ve expected Keenum would join in on the jokes? This is what we love about the ManningCast: you just never know what you’re going to get.

When even Keenum is joining in on the jokes, you’ve got to take them in stride.

Hart catching shade like this when he’s not even available to make jokes back is just brutal, although we bet he’ll want to come back on the ManningCast sometime in the future to defend his honor (and his stature).

Christian McCaffrey mercilessly roasted the Giants ahead of Week 15 ManningCast appearance

Christian McCaffrey has his cheeseballs and Giants zingers ready for his ManningCast appearance.

The NFL regular season is winding down, but the ManningCast with Peyton and Eli is still going strong.

There were some entertaining games in Week 15. The Tennessee Titans lost an overtime thriller to Case Keenum and the Houston Texans after pettily wearing their Oilers throwback uniforms. Also, the San Francisco 49ers steamrolled the Arizona Cardinals after an early struggle, leaving Christian McCaffrey in good spirits and dropping MTV references in the post-game presser. Glorious stuff.

The Manning brothers have impeccable timing because both McCaffrey and Keenum are joining the show Monday night. Famed ESPN Analyst Mina Kimes is also joining the madness.

The ManningCast airs Monday at 8:13 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
