Colts: Peyton Manning trolls Patriots with cheating dig on Monday Night Football broadcast
Unfortunately, the Indianapolis Colts couldn’t get Peyton Manning a win on Sunday after the Hall of Famer was honored during halftime of their Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Bummer. But Peyton gave Colts fans a win the next day while he was broadcasting the Monday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions with his brother Eli.
During a Packers drive into the red zone, the topic of the New York Giants-New England Patriots Super Bowl XLVI matchup in Indianapolis was broached and Eli handed Peyton an absolute softball … which he knocked out of the park.
For the second week in a row, Peyton trolled Tom Brady and the Patriots live on the air, but this one cut deeper.

Colts legend Peyton Manning trolled the Patriots for cheating on MNF broadcast.
Roger Goodell … care to investigate? Let’s make this a double whammy and try to punish Brady and the Patriots. Remember, the duo’s last infraction came during Brady’s final season in New England back in 2019 when the Pats were caught illegally taping the Cincinnati Bengals’ sideline.
Are we really sure Brady and Bill Belichick didn’t take their Spygate tactics to their fifth Super Bowl together and conspire against Manning even though he wasn’t the opponent at hand?
Luckily for the Patriots, the timeline doesn’t coincide. The Pats and Giants played back in February of 2012, and that next season was Manning’s first with the Denver Broncos. Nonetheless, Manning was convinced his locker was bugged before that. His claim isn’t out of the question! Brady and Belichick had a decade to pay some slimey intern from Boston to get the job done.
"Every time I played against New England, I used to talk to my receivers in the showers. Don't talk about a play next to my locker because I know it's bugged. I know it's got a hot mic in there. Very strange to see 7 guys hanging out in the shower." - Peyton Manning

OK, Patriots fans, fine. We get it. The cheating jokes are stale. Brady isn’t your quarterback anymore. You won six Super Bowls. Peyton choked over and over against New England. Don’t worry, though! Eli, who certifiably owns you, actually did you a favor by jabbing his brother with a spot-on insult during the same broadcast.
Turns out there a little bit for everybody during the Manning Bros. broadcast.
