Matt Ryan left Peyton and Eli Manning speechless with his end-of-game logic for the Eagles and Falcons thriller

What?

To be honest, it’s a little tough to figure out what Matt Ryan was trying to say here while he enjoyed the Atlanta Falcons’ comeback win Monday night over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Ryan had a blast on the ManningCast while watching Kirk Cousins engineer a drive that gave the Falcons the surprise win in primetime, but there was one moment that left the Manning brothers speechless. Hat tip to Warren Sharp for recording this, in which Ryan declares a team should kick the field goal and then go for the onside kick for an end-of-game Hail Mary.

OK, I’m gonna try this: I think he assumes the Eagles would score a touchdown to go up 25-15, and that the Falcons would then go for a field goal, kick onside and then try to score a touchdown.

But the situation dictated that if the Eagles got a first down (this was before the Saquon Barkley drop), the Falcons had no timeouts, so Philly would have kneeled three times to ice the win.

So that left the Mannings confused:

Matt Ryan joining the ManningCast for the entire Falcons game-winning TD drive was perfect

Okay, this was awesome.

The Atlanta Falcons completed an absolutely unreal comeback against the Philadelphia Eagles to win their first game of 2024 on Monday Night Football.

The ManningCast had the best broadcast of it you’re going to hear, if only because former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan joined Peyton and Eli Manning for the entire game-winning drive.

From the first play to the Drake London touchdown, the entire commentary from Ryan and the Manning brothers fits so well with what’s going on in the game. Ryan’s reaction to the London touchdown was particularly priceless.

This was a cathartic victory for the Falcons, and this ManningCast broadcast segment met the moment and then some.

Chiefs DT Chris Jones’ latest impression of Cris Collinsworth on ‘ManningCast’

Kansas City #Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones’ latest impression of Cris Collinsworth on ‘ManningCast’ | @EdEastonJr

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.

Peyton Manning ripped on rusty Brandon Aiyuk after a missed touchdown catch

“Get signed, get in training camp, there’s a reason for training camp, you need it!”

Brandon Aiyuk finally got paid this offseason right before the San Francisco 49ers started their season, after a looooooong, drama-filled holdout.

And on Monday, we finally got to see the wideout back in action, and he nearly snagged a diving touchdown grab that he dropped in the second quarter.

Peyton Manning didn’t mince words on the first ManningCast of the year: “Get signed, get in training camp, there’s a reason for training camp, you need it!”

“Get those contracts done earlier so you can get in training camp, we don’t drop balls on opening night,” he added. “You’re still catching balls at a high school field from some quarterback that’s 45 years old, my age. You’re not catching balls from your quarterback.”

Tell ’em how you really feel, Peyton.

Peyton Manning trolled Bill Belichick on the ManningCast with an old clip from their Colts-Patriots days

Peyton Manning got Bill Belichick good here.

During Monday night’s ManningCast return, Peyton Manning decided to troll guest Bill Belichick with a real uncomfortable blast from the past.

As Belichick appeared virtually with the Manning brothers, Peyton Manning popped on an old highlight from a 2004 Indianapolis Colts game against the New England Patriots where he ran an infamous bootleg on the Pats defense.

You could see how much the clip made Belichick cringe as he was forced to watch a very non-mobile quarterback get some ground yards on one of the legendary New England defenses.

Belichick could only say “Oh, no!” a few times as Peyton Manning beamed with pride at the time he was able to scramble on a Patriots defense.

Chiefs DL Chris Jones to appear on ESPN’s ‘ManningCast’ on Monday night

#Chiefs DL Chris Jones will be a guest on Monday night’s ‘ManningCast’ during the #49ers’ Week 1 matchup against the #Jets.

The Kansas City Chiefs spent this weekend at home after a thrilling 27-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, allowing players to have some fun during the remaining NFL Week 1 games.

Some players, such as quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, attended the U.S. Open in New York this weekend. Others, like defensive tackle Chris Jones, seek other means of enjoying their weekend off.

On Monday morning, Omaha Productions, the production company for ESPN’s ManningCast, tweeted their list of guests for Monday night’s matchup between the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers, with Jones set to join the broadcast.

Bill Belichick and Adam Sandler will be tough acts to follow for the veteran defensive lineman. Still, Jones is known for having a personality to spare and should have no trouble providing valuable insight into Monday night’s game.

Expect him to show off his signature wit and football knowledge during tonight’s broadcast.
