Former Baltimore Ravens star Ed Reed went on a rant during Monday night’s ‘ManningCast,’ drawing uncomfortable stares from his hosts.

Peyton Manning and his brother Eli were hosting Reed on their latest episode when the subject of Guardian caps came up.

Reed is apparently not a fan of the protective gear and doesn’t think they work. He went on to explain why they’re useless while the brothers looked on awkwardly.

Peyton eventually changed the subject by returning the show’s focus to the game between the Ravens and the Buccaneers, but Reed had more than made his point by then.

Most Fans Agreed Peyton Manning’s Opinionated Guest

Plenty of folks agreed with Reed in the comments.

“The man is making sense to be honest,” someone claimed.

“To be fair, are we sure they actually do anything?” another asked.

“Why does anyone think these will work?” a user wondered.

“Maybe because Ed Reed is right,” someone else wrote.

“Peyton should’ve pulled up the guardian cap study right then and there on stream. If this website has taught me anything, it’s to always bring receipts,” a comment read.

It appears Tua Tagovailoa isn’t a fan of the caps either. He’s said he won’t wear one when he returns despite suffering multiple concussions over the last few seasons.

Peyton Manning exposed one of Andy Reid’s old play-calling sheets during Monday’s edition of the “ManningCast” that he co-hosts with Eli Manning and Bill Belichick.

The “ManningCast” is in its fourth season on ESPN2 and ESPN+. Peyton and Eli Manning host co-host each episode with several special guests, and Belichick joined the program this year after being passed over in the 2024 NFL head coach hiring cycle.

Belichick and the Manning brothers did another show during the Kansas City Chiefs-New Orleans Saints Week 5 Monday night game. At one point of the show, the five-time league MVP exposed one of Reid’s play-calling sheets from a 2014 game between the Chiefs and Manning’s Broncos:

That play-calling sheet may now be 10 years old, but Reid and the Chiefs might not appreciate Peyton Manning doing that anyway. Teams’ play-calling sheets are supposed to be secretive, so coaches always try to cover them up on the sidelines.

The Chiefs defeated the Saints 26-13 on Monday night to improve to 5-0 on the season. They’ll aim to keep the undefeated streak intact when they come out of their bye week to visit the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.

Peyton Manning Had Andy Reid’s Number

Peyton Manning played for the Broncos from 2012 to 2015, winning seven of his eight matchups against Reid’s Chiefs. Since his retirement in 2016, Kansas City has won the division yearly, and they look poised to make it nine in a row here in 2024.

Manning faced Andy Reid’s Philadelphia Eagles four times during his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts. Manning won the first three meetings before Reid finally solved him in the Eagles’ 2010 home game against Indy.

Peyton went 10-2 in his career against Andy Reid-coached teams. He won the first seven meetings against Reid’s Chiefs before Kansas City finally solved the eventual Super Bowl 50 champions in a 2015 game in Mile High City.
