The ‘ManningCast’ will return for a fifth season in 2025

The 2024 season has concluded for the ‘ManningCast,’ but Peyton and Eli will return to ‘Monday Night Football’ in 2025.

Peyton Manning and Eli Manning wrapped up their fourth season of the ManningCast with a Monday Night Football playoff game between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams last night.

There are still seven NFL games left to be played this season, but Peyton and Eli have wrapped up their commentary schedule for the 2024 campaign. That said, the brothers are set to return to ESPN’s MNF coverage in 2025 — and beyond.

Ahead of the expiration of the deal that ran through the 2024 season, Disney gave a massive contract extension to Peyton and Eli that will extend the alternate MNF broadcast through the 2034 season.

That’s right: Peyton and Eli are signed for the next decade.

It’s an extension with Peyton’s Omaha Productions company, so the deal also includes shows such as Peyton’s Places and Eli’s Places.

The Denver Broncos are yet to play in a game with a ManningCast. Perhaps that will change in 2025 (here are Denver’s opponents next season). The 2025 NFL schedule will be announced in the spring.

Broncos QB Bo Nix played through back fractures this season

Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix played through three transverse process fractures in his back this season.

With his rookie season now completed, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has revealed the nature of the injury he suffered against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12.

“We all played with some bruises, some cuts and scrapes,” Nix said of the 2024 campaign, via KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. “The biggest week was just I had a little transverse process fracture in my back [against the Raiders]. That week, [I] got treatment and kind of made it through that week. Monday Night Football, it was a stretch that we were all kind of banged up, and I wasn’t going to miss the first Monday night game.

“So I got treatment on it and then we were fortunate to have an off week that next week. [The injury] kind of went away after that. For that moment, it was annoying, but we all play with [inaudible].”

We suspected that Nix suffered an injury after he wrapped his waist and lower back during the Raiders game. He was limited for one practice the following week before being cleared for the Browns game.

Nix went 25-of-42 passing for 273 yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers in a 29-19 win in Las Vegas. Nix said his back got twisted up in that game and he suffered three transverse process fractures.

“A lot of guys play with a lot of those kind of things,” Nix said of the injury.

The following week, Nix went 18-of-35 for 294 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in a 41-32 win over the Browns on MNF. After that, Denver had a timely bye week, giving Nix extra time to recover.

Nix finished his rookie season with 3,775 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, four rushing touchdowns and one touchdown catch.

Broncos beat the Bills in Buffalo just last season

There’s no way the Broncos can beat the Bills in Buffalo, right? Well, they did just last season.

After finishing the regular season with a 10-7 record, the Denver Broncos clinched a spot in the NFL playoffs for the first time since 2015.

It’s a great story, but just about everyone expects the Broncos to be one-and-done in the playoffs. As the bottom seed in the AFC, Denver has to go on the road to face the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

The Broncos are considered big underdogs against the Bills, understandably so, but fans and pundits shouldn’t forget what happened when Denver went to Buffalo just last season.

The Broncos — with Russell Wilson at quarterback — were considered 7.5-point underdogs going into a Monday Night Football clash with the Bills last season and Denver ended up winning 24-22. Here are the highlights from that wild game:

Of course, the Bills and Broncos have both made notable changes to their rosters since that game. This is a new season with new players, but Denver has already proven capable of getting an upset win in Buffalo.

“We look forward to the challenge,” coach Sean Payton said of facing the Bills. “They’ve had a great season. We’re familiar with, certainly the travel. The last time we were there, felt like we were there seven days. We played Monday night. We got out there Friday. Our plane was delayed. But look, they’re a really good football team, and that’s why they’re the No. 2 seed. We’re going to have to have a great week of preparation, and we’ll get ready to go.”

Winning last season’s matchup has given players confidence that they can do it again.

“I think Buffalo is a tough atmosphere to go, especially in the playoffs later in the year,” receiver Marvin Mims said. “But we did (play the Bills in Buffalo) last year, so the confidence for me is up there. Being on that team last year and being able to go to Buffalo and get a primetime win on Monday night. They have a great team. Quarterback is playing really good, defense playing really good, so it’s going to be a good matchup for us.”

Last year’s victory doesn’t guarantee anything this week. Anything can happen in the NFL, though, so don’t count the Broncos out just yet.

Broncos inactives: Levi Wallace won’t play today

After struggling against the Browns, Broncos CB Levi Wallace won’t play today. View the team’s complete inactives list here.

The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for Sunday’s showdown with the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season.

The Broncos’ inactive players today are quarterback Zach Wilson*, cornerback Riley Moss (knee), cornerback Levi Wallace, linebacker Levelle Bailey, guard/center Nick Gargiulo, offensive tackle Frank Crum and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike.

*Technically, Wilson is still available to play as the team’s emergency third-string quarterback behind starter Bo Nix and primary backup Jarrett Stidham, but he’s on the inactive list and does not count against the game-day roster. Wilson can play if both Nix and Stidham are injured.

With the exception of Wilson, these inactive players are members of the 53-man roster who are not eligible to play against the Colts. They will be reactivated on Monday.

Broncos inactives vs. Colts

  1. QB Zach Wilson (*emergency third QB)
  2. CB Riley Moss (knee)
  3. CB Levi Wallace 
  4. LB Levelle Bailey 
  5. OL Nick Gargiulo
  6. OT Frank Crum
  7. DL Eyioma Uwazurike

Sunday’s game will be regionally televised on CBS (view the TV map). Playing at home, the Broncos are considered favorites against the Colts.

Broncos elevate 2 players from practice squad to game-day roster

The Broncos have elevated guard/center Nick Gargiulo and cornerback Reese Taylor from the practice squad to the game-day roster for Week 15.

The Denver Broncos are calling up reinforcements from the practice squad ahead of their Week 15 showdown with the Indianapolis Colts.

The Broncos elevated guard/center Nick Gargiulo and cornerback Reese Taylor from the practice squad to the game-day roster, the team announced Saturday. They will revert back to the practice squad on Tuesday.

Players can be elevated up to three times during the season without having to clear waivers to return to the practice squad. This marks Gargiulo’s third and final elevation. He was inactive for the team’s last two games after being elevated. Taylor has been elevated for the first time.

Elsewhere on the transaction front, Denver signed linebacker K.J. Cloyd to the practice squad earlier this week. The team also gave left tackle Garett Bolles a four-year contract extension this week.

Sunday’s game will be regionally televised on CBS (view the TV map). Playing at home, the Broncos are considered favorites against the Colts.
