Tradition is in the air this time of year.
As we approach the new year, family gatherings and taking time off to celebrate the holidays are the norm. The Manning brothers are no different, as they remain on an extended vacation from the “ManningCast.”
Peyton and Eli won’t be on the air again in Week 17 for the final “Monday Night Football” game of the regular season, with their vocal chords getting a rest until playoff time in the NFL. In the meantime, NFL fans will be left to watch the traditional broadcast on ABC and ESPN.
The 49ers are set to host the Lions in a playoff rematch, one that is taking on a different look this season. Only Detroit is postseason-bound, as San Francisco has just two games left before packing it up and heading into the offseason. While the Manning brothers won’t be present in Week 17, they will be back soon enough for one final time before the NFL season concludes.
Here’s a look at the “ManningCast” remaining schedule for 2024.
