ESPN
- Peyton and Eli Manning’s Manningcast has been a treat for fans all season.
- Thanks to the Monday Night Football playoff game, one final Manningcast was aired on ESPN2.
- A hilarious moment during the first quarter caught Peyton on a hot mic.
Thanks to the first-ever Monday Night Football playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals, fans were also treated to the first-ever Manningcast playoff game, as Peyton and Eli Manning, for the final time this season, hopped on ESPN2 to call the game with their own unique spin.
Despite the act that Peyton and Eli have done quite a few Manningcasts throughout the 2021-21 season, some growing pains obviously remain, as Peyton was caught on a hot mic bemoaning the fact that he “can’t hear shit.”

It’ll certainly be interesting to see what ESPN plans for the Manning brothers next year, as the rookie season of the Manningcast was a massive success.
The Monday Night Football game between Matthew Stafford’s L.A. Rams and Kyler Murray’s Arizona Cardinals was the final game of Super Wild Card Weekend, which saw the Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, and Kansas City Chiefs all advance to next week’s Divisional Round.
In the Divisional Round, the top seed in the NFC, the 13-4 Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers, will host Jimmy Garoppolo and the Niners following their upset of the Cowboys, while Tom Brady and the defending champions Bucs will take on the winners of the Rams-Cards matchup.
Meanwhile, over in the AFC, Ryan Tannehill and the top-seeded Titans will host Joe Burrow and the Bengals in Nashville, while Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills will head down to Missouri to take on Patrick Mahomes and the defending AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
