The “ManningCast” returned with the New York Giants facing the Pittsburgh Steelers on “Monday Night Football,” which the Steelers came out victorious 26-18.
This marked just the second appearance for the Steelers on the alternate broadcast, while it was the sixth for the Giants. Pittsburgh won its lone appearance, while New York was 1-5.
The Steelers have now won 22 straight home games on “Monday Night Football,” the longest streak since the MNF franchise began in 1970, according to ESPN Research. Meanwhile, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones now has a 1-15 record in prime-time games in his career, the worst prime-time record by any starting QB since the 1970 merger.
Peyton and Eli were joined by Bill Belichick, former Giants star Lawrence Taylor, rapper LL Cool J and former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher. Belichick joined Taylor, whom he coached while in New York, during the second quarter.
Here were the best “ManningCast” moments from Week 8.
