- Eli, Peyton Manning bringing lighthearted look at tonight's Jaguars vs Chiefs 'MNF' game
The Manning brothers will bring their lighthearted take on football to Monday night's Jaguars-Chiefs game in Jacksonville (although they won't actually be in town for the game).
Eli and Peyton Manning 's ManningCast show, which is on ESPN2 live during the game, brings in guests Glen Powell, Heidi Gardner and Fred Warner tonight. Powell is starring in "Chad Powers," a Hulu series based on a skit in which Eli Manning wore a disguise to try out for a college football team. Gardner, a noted Chiefs fan, was on "Saturday Night Live" for eight seasons. Warner is a linebacker for the 49ers who had eight tackles and a forced fumble in a Sept. 28 loss to the Jaguars in San Francisco .
