Peyton Manning threw up a sympathetic surrender cobra to Derek Carr’s horrific MNF pick

Peyton Manning couldn’t believe this.

The New Orleans Saints didn’t get off to the best start against the hosting Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

While Saints running back Alvin Kamara played quite well on the opening drive, quarterback Derek Carr threw a duck of an interception to Chiefs safety Bryan Cook that gave Kansas City its first offensive possession.

During the night’s ManningCast, Peyton Manning watched Carr’s pick with absolute shock and disgust at how badly the Saints quarterback erred on the decision.

Manning even threw up a sympathetic surrender cobra at just how rough the interception looked from his vantage point.

It’s one of those throws where you genuinely don’t understand what the quarterback is doing, as Manning looked absolutely befuddled at what had just happened in Kansas City. His reaction really spoke volumes.

ManningCast to feature legendary Saints QB vs. Chiefs

The Saints vs. Chiefs “ManningCast” has a strong guest list, with legendary former Saints quarterback Archie Manning among them:

The Kansas City Chiefs versus New Orleans Saints matchup in Week 5 will be featured as a “ManningCast” game on ESPN2, scheduled for 7:13 p.m. CT/8:13 p.m. ET. The guest list for this week’s broadcast group makes it worth watching. Peyton and Eli Manning will sit down with theeir father, Saints legend Archie Manning. He’s also the father of Cooper Manning and grandfather of Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning.

Additionally, it will include legendary former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, and actor Paul Rudd, a Chiefs superfan and the narrator of the 2007 season of “Hard Knocks,” which featured the Chiefs as well.

Having this group together will be an interesting dynamic, as Eli Manning will be able to talk with Belichick about the two Super Bowl victories he had against him. The Manning family will primarily be together on broadcast, and we can get perspective from Rudd about the Chiefs and his fandom as well. The “ManningCast” always has some fun broadcast groups and guests, but this one will be a fun one no doubt.

Peyton Manning was in attendance to watch Broncos’ big win over Raiders

Peyton Manning was one of more than 120 former Broncos players who attend Sunday’s game to watch a big win over the Raiders.

The Denver Broncos made Peyton Manning proud on Sunday.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback was one of more than 120 former Broncos players who returned to Empower Field at Mile High in Week 5 as part of the team’s Alumni Weekend festivities.

With Peyton and other franchise greats in attendance, Denver took care of business with a 34-18 victory over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders.

“Especially in light of the people that were here today and the people that went into the Ring of Honor, it is important for us to play well [at home], and today even more importantly,” coach Sean Payton said after the game.

Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain had a huge day with alumni in attendance, including Hall of Fame cornerback Champ Bailey.

“It means a lot,” Surtain said of playing in front of the team’s greats. “Every time legends come through, we want to put out a good impression and we want to bring that winning culture that they brought to this organization. To have that energy and to have that aura that they brought is pretty amazing. It was a special day today seeing a bunch of legendary guys on the field cheering us on and I know we were poised for success.”

Surtain was asked if he imagines himself becoming one of the team’s legends.

“Definitely,” the cornerback said. “I definitely see that happening. Only time will tell. I’m only 24 [years old] so I’ve got a lot of growing to do, but I’m definitely looking forward to that moment.”

Surtain is certainly well on his way to becoming a franchise legend.

Peyton Manning and Eli star in funny King’s Hawaiian commercials

Peyton and Eli Manning continue their sibling rivalry in King’s Hawaiian funny new commercials.

Peyton Manning and his brother, Eli, joined King’s Hawaiian last year in a two-year marketing campaign promoting the company’s sliders and pretzel bites.

After debuting last fall, the former NFL quarterbacks returned with several new commercials this year continuing the “Slider Sunday” campaign.

“The versatility of their sliders means whether it’s tailgating during football season, enjoying a backyard barbeque or really just ending any weekend on a high note, we’re covered with King’s Hawaiian,” Peyton ssaid in a press release. “We’ve enjoyed working with their great team and look forward to more great moments to come.”

The commercials were created and produced by Omaha Productions, Peyton’s production company.

Here’s the first commercial in which Eli “saves Slider Sunday again” by remembering to bring the sliders that Peyton forgot:

Eli once again saved “Slider Sunday” in a new ad this fall:

And the brothers showed off their snack stands in another ad:

In a fourth commercial, the brothers break down the Xs and Os of sliders:

The commercials will air during football season this fall.

Panthers QB Andy Dalton can get closer to very rare feat with win over Bears in Week 5

Panthers QB Andy Dalton has defeated 29 of the NFL’s 32 teams over his 14-year career. He can make it 30 on Sunday.

There are only three NFL teams that haven’t felt the fiery wrath of the “Red Rifle.” But that very short list can be cut down to two on Sunday.

Carolina Panthers starting quarterback Andy Dalton spoke with reporters ahead of his team’s Week 5 visit to see the Chicago Bears. The 36-year-old veteran was asked about returning to the “Windy City,” where he spent one of his 14 pro seasons.

“Yeah, it’ll be fun to be back,” he said on Wednesday. “For me, I think the biggest thing is Chicago is one of the teams that I haven’t beat in my career. There’s only a couple of them, I think there’s three left—and unfortunately, one of them’s the Carolina Panthers, so I’m not gonna be able to do that. But, yeah, Chicago and Dallas, another team that I played for is another one that I haven’t beat.”

Dalton is currently 0-for-2 in his career against the Bears. He and the Cincinnati Bengals took a 24-21 loss to Chicago in 2013 and a 33-7 beatdown in 2017.

But if he keeps up the impressive play from his first two starts, then the third time could be a charm this weekend. And if it is, he can then set his sights on those Cowboys in Week 15.

When it comes to beating the Panthers, that may be another story for another year. Dalton is set to become a free agent at season’s end, so that prospect isn’t completely off the table.

As of now, however, there are only four quarterbacks who have defeated every team in their NFL careers—Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Tom Brady.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels surpasses Tom Brady, Peyton Manning in this impressive stat

Jayden Daniels continues to set records.

Through four games, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has completed 82.1% of his passes for 897 yards, with three touchdowns and one interception. Daniels has been effective as a runner, too, rushing for 218 yards and four touchdowns.

Daniels has already broken numerous team and NFL rookie records through four games, but courtesy of CBS Sports, Daniels accomplished something else impressive in Sunday’s win over Arizona.

By completing 82.1% of his passes through four games, Daniels surpassed Tom Brady and Peyton Manning for the highest completion percentage for a four-game stretch in NFL history. Let me remind you, these aren’t rookie numbers. These are years in which Brady and Manning won the MVP.

 

That’s elite company. Brady and Manning are arguably the two greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. That’s not saying Daniels is in their class now because he isn’t. However, it highlights how impressive the beginning of his NFL career has been.

Daniels also became the first NFL quarterback to complete 85% or more of his passes in back-to-back games.

The Washington quarterback has the Commanders on a three-game winning streak and sitting atop the NFC East at 3-1.

Eli Manning had a funny reaction to Arch Manning’s first college start

Eli Manning wanted to drop in to remind everyone that he had a better college debut than Archie, Peyton and Arch.

Arch Manning made the first start of his college football career on Saturday, helping the Texas Longhorns defeat the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks 51-3.

After the game, many fans and pundits were quick to compare the stats of Arch to his uncle’s first NCCA starts — and his grandfather’s, too.

Archie Manning (the patriarch of the family) threw for 116 yards and had two touchdowns against one interception in his first start at Ole Miss in 1968.

Peyton Manning was limited to 79 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in his Tennessee debut in 1994. Arch Manning had 258 yards with two scores and two interceptions on Saturday.

Eli Manning topped them all with 271 passing yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in his first start at Ole Miss in 2001.

Eli took to Twitter/X on Monday to let his dad, brother and nephew know that he bested them: “I win!”

Arch’s father, Cooper Manning, was a star wide receiver in high school, but his football career was cut short by spinal stenosis before college. Cooper is the older brother of Peyton and Eli.

Peyton and Eli both won two Super Bowls in the NFL — Peyton won one title with the Indianapolis Colts and another with the Denver Broncos. Eli won two titles with the New York Giants.

Eli’s son, Charley (6), made his flag football debut on Saturday. Peyton’s son, Marshall (13), is a youth football player. They’ll look to follow in the footsteps of their dads and their cousin, Arch, in the coming years.
