Peyton and Eli Manning are already a hit on Monday Night Football
ESPN appears to have struck gold with the Peyton and Eli Manning “Monday Night Football” broadcast on ESPN2 and streaming on ESPN+.
From the time the Manning brothers appeared on the screen for the Raiders-Ravens game, the rave reviews were getting shared on Twitter. Here’s a small sample of what’s being said about the “Peyton and Eli” broadcast, which has included these highlight moments:

I mean we knew this but the normal MNF crew has no chance vs Peyton and Eli

Peyton and Eli are going 1,000,000 mph and it’s beautiful organized chaos I’m here for it

Uh, the Peyton/Eli MNF feed might be real real real good. I am kind of excited about this as a future thing

The Manning brothers are giving a Master's class on offense right now on ESPN2.
If Peyton and Eli want the main broadcast it will be theirs by Week 1 2022.

It doesn't seem very smart of ESPN to put Peyton and Eli on ESPN2. Not because it's not a great idea, but because surely nobody is watching the main broadcast.
This is amazing television.

I really like the Manning broadcast. Those dudes are entertaining and I like talking about the game but also other stuff
Networks should do more of this

Twitter isn’t always “real life,” but it sure looks like the Worldwide Leader has a ratings hit on its hands.
