The “ManningCast” returned for another edition as the Atlanta Falcons face the Philadelphia Eagles on Week 2 of “Monday Night Football.”
The Falcons came out on top 22-21 after Kirk Cousins found Drake London for a 7-yard touchdown with 34 seconds remaining. The Eagles’ ensuing drive ended in a Jalen Hurts interception with 19 seconds remaining, securing the Falcons win. Cousins threw for 241 yards and two touchdowns in his first victory with Atlanta. Hurts threw for 183 yards and one touchdown, while running for 85 yards and a score.
This marked the fourth time the Eagles have appeared on the alternate broadcast, while it was the first time for the Falcons. Philadelphia now has a 2-3 record on the “ManningCast,” including a wild-card loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season.
Peyton and Eli Manning were again joined by former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who will be a guest on each “ManningCast” broadcast; Eagles fan and actor Miles Teller; and former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan.
Here were the best “ManningCast” moments from Week 2.
