One of the biggest things NFL fans look forward to every week is the ManningCast. Monday Night Football is the only time Eli and Peyton Manning come together to not only break down the game on the field but also take part in exclusive interviews with current players and Hall of Famers, among others. This week, it’s no different.
The Mannings have three guests planned for the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Jacksonville Jaguars broadcast.
Eli and Peyton Manning Have Three Guests Lined Up For Week 5 of the ManningCast, Featuring Chiefs vs. Jaguars
A few days ago, TMZ announced the first guest on the ManningCast’s Week 5 return. After taking Week 4 off due to the doubleheader, Eli and Peyton have the perfect actor lined up for the Chiefs vs. Jaguars game. In line with his “Chad Powers” series, the one and only Glen Powell will be making an appearance.

Glen Powell
Powell is the star of “Chad Powers”, Hulu’s latest football series. Episodes one and two have already been released, and viewers can follow Powers’ journey each and every Tuesday. With the next episode scheduled to come out on Tuesday, Oct. 7, the Week 5 edition of the ManningCast will be the perfect lead-in to episode three. Viewers should make sure to catch up on episodes one and two prior to the ManningCast.
Heidi Gardner
Omaha Productions confirmed another actor will appear on Eli and Peyton’s broadcast. While it’s unknown when each guest will make their appearance, they will each appear in one of the four quarters. Typically, there’s never more than one guest in a quarter, leaving ample time for everyone to speak and shine in the spotlight.
Fred Warner
At 28, the San Francisco 49ers linebacker is coming off his best game of the season. With 12 tackles against the Los Angeles Rams, Warner increased his season numbers to 38. He hasn’t had a sack since he picked up a pair in Week 3, but his total sits at 5.5, a number that speaks for itself. With two forced fumbles, Warner finds himself tied for third in the league in that category.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
If someone said the Jaguars would have a better record than the Chiefs in Week 5, people likely wouldn’t have taken them seriously. With four games in the book, that’s exactly what happened. QB Patrick Mahomes brings his C+ PFSN QB Impact grade to Jacksonville as the 2-2 Chiefs play the 3-1 Jaguars.
