Peyton Manning and Eli Manning didn't play in the NFL in 2021, but they remain undefeated against some its elite quarterbacks. ESPN's ManningCast curse for "Monday Night Football" started in Week 1 and didn't let up all season long. Now the big question is whether the hex on the players affected will last into the 2022 NFL playoffs?
For the uninitiated, there's no doubt the curse was real. Seven active players — five QBs and two tight ends all were guests of Peyton and Eli. Six of them appeared between Weeks 1 and 8. Wisely, other players caught on and avoided the show until Aaron Rodgers appeared during the final regular-season MNF game, Browns-Steelers in Week 17.
