Is 'ManningCast' on tonight? Schedule for Jets-Chargers on ESPN's 'Monday Night Football'

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are one of the most popular broadcast duos in the NFL, but even they sometimes struggle to compete with Peyton and Eli Manning's "ManningCast" on "Monday Night Football."

The brotherly banter of Tennessee's Peyton Manning and Ole Miss' Eli Manning makes the "ManningCast" — a simulcast that airs on ESPN2 for certain "Monday Night Football" matchups — appointment viewing.

Not only do they have their unique rapport, but a slew of guests from both within and outside of the sports world also bring their own twists and turns to the broadcast. Sometimes they're players, sometimes they're fans, but more often than not they have experience in the comedy world.

This week, the Jets will hosting the Chargers from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford in an AFC showdown. The Jets (4-3) are trying to gain ground on the Dolphins and Bills in the AFC East, whereas the Chargers (3-4) are trying to avoid falling two games below .500 in the competitive AFC.
