Kansas City Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes appeared on Peyton & Eli Manning’s MNF show “ManningCast” in his bye week. The MNF game between the Denver Broncos and the Buffalo Bills was a real nail-biter, ending with the Broncos triumphing 24-22. Mahomes made the game even more captivating for viewers of the ManningCast by showcasing his deep football insights and making spot-on predictions about the game.

During the show, the Giants legend Eli Manning asked the Chiefs quarterback to predict how the Broncos would score in the next play. Mahomes had an exact foresight of the sequence and predicted they would run twice and then go for a touchdown. To the Manning brother’s surprise, the actual game unfolded exactly as Mahomes had anticipated. The 28-year-old QB said in ManningCast:
“They are going to run it twice and then go with a hard play-action on third and short that’s gonna get a touchdown.”

Following Mahomes’ prediction, the Broncos ran the ball twice with Javonte Williams, then made a play-action pass resulting in a touchdown to Courtland Sutton at the back of the end zone. After a successful sequence, Eli Manning included Mahomes’ face on their “Perfect Prediction” panel board, where Trevor Lawrence and Aaron Rodgers are also featured among others.
