Daily News | Why aren’t Peyton and Eli Manning on ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Football’ for Eagles-Vikings?
. With multiple networks and productions involved, the network decided to skip the alternate broadcast this week to limit viewer confusion and maximize resources, according to network sources.Last week, the Manning brothers’ simulcast on ESPN drew 1.5 million viewers, according to the network.
Last season, Peyton and Eli hosted the Manningcast through the first three weeks of the season, which included the Eagles’ blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. While the Birds didn’t give them much to talk about, it didn’t stopin Week 13, when they travel to Washington, D.C. to take on the Commanders and former Birds quarterback Carson Wentz on Nov. 14.
Analyst Joel Klatt picked up play-by-play in the final seconds of the first half after Johnson, 55, went silent. When the broadcast returned from halftime, Brady Quinn was in the booth filling in the analyst role as Klatt took over play-by-play, telling fans Johnson was doing well but was “very much under the weather.”
Following the game, Klatt had a longer explanation, but didn’t offer any information about what Johnson was suffering from. Klatt said Johnson was planning on returning next week, and will be back “better than ever.”Johnson has served as Fox’s lead play-by-play announcer on college football since 2011. He’s also been the lead voice on Fox’s college basketball coverage since 2013, the first year the network carried national college basketball games.
