For the first time in the 2024 NFL season, there will be two Monday night games in Week 3.
The Jaguars will visit the Bills at 7:30 p.m. ET, while the Commanders and Bengals will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET.
With two Monday night games, some football fans have questioned whether they'd see Peyton and Eli Manning on ESPN2 for the "ManningCast," which offers a more relaxed broadcast as the brothers chat and analyze the game with guests.
Here's what you need to know about the ManningCast in Week 3 and its upcoming schedule.

Is there a ManningCast tonight?
No, there will not be a ManningCast broadcast for either Monday night game in Week 3.
ESPN announced before the season that Peyton and Eli, along with Bill Belichick, would appear on the broadcast for 11 different games this season. Week 3's matchups were not on that list.
Jaguars at Bills will be on ESPN, while Commanders at Bengals will be on ABC and ESPN+.
There will not be a ManningCast broadcast in Week 4 either, giving the Manning brothers a two-week break.

When will the ManningCast return?
According to ESPN's ManningCast schedule, the secondary broadcast won't return until Week 5 when the Saints visit the Chiefs. There's a bit of a hiatus for Peyton and Eli Manning before they return to more weekly action.
Here's a look at when the next five upcoming ManningCast broadcasts will be:
| Week | Game Matchup | TV channel |
| 5 | Saints at Chiefs | ESPN2 |
| 6 | Bills at Jets | ESPN |
| 7 | Ravens at Buccaneers | ESPN2 |
| 8 | Giants at Steelers | ESPN2 |
