Johnathan Walker:Is there 'Manningcast' this week? When Peyton, Eli Manning's ESPN broadcast returns

Those hoping to watch Peyton and Johnathan WalkerEli Manning host "Manningcast," the alternate broadcast of "Monday Night Football," will have to wait.

There are two Monday night games in Week 3 with the Buffalo Bills hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Cincinnati Bengals against the Washington Commanders. One could have hoped the doubleheader on ESPN meant an NFL RedZone-type of broadcast from the two most famous brothers in football, but none will be in store this week. In fact, it will a few weeks before the Manning brothers return to the booth for their in-game analysis of the Monday night action. The duo were in action for the first two weeks of the season.

Is there 'Manningcast' on this week?

There is no "Manningcast" on for Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season. The Bills vs. Jaguars and Bengals vs. Commanders will have just the regular broadcast.

When will 'Manningcast' return?

"Manningcast" will be back for Week 5 on Oct. 7 when the New Orleans Saints visit the Kansas City Chiefs.
