Peyton and Eli Manning experienced an unexpected moment of silence on ManningCast when the screens featured bikini-clad women, or at least that’s how it appeared. ESPN decided to join the fans during a pause in the game at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, where the north end boasts wading pools.
A camera captured individuals enjoying the pool facilities, leaving the Manning brothers somewhat bewildered—whether due to the pool occupants or the peculiar sight of a stadium with a swimming pool remains uncertain.
Although Peyton and Eli Manning haven’t shared their thoughts on the moment, fans had a lively reaction. Beyond the bikini-clad pool scene, a significant football match unfolded on the turf. The Bengals emerged victorious against the Jaguars with a score of 34-31 in overtime. C.J. Beathard stepped in for the injured Trevor Lawrence, while Jake Browning was already filling in for the season-out Joe Burrow.

Beathard orchestrated a crucial drive in regulation time, leading the Jaguars to tie the game with a field goal and force overtime. Despite a potential game-winning touchdown in overtime being nullified due to offensive holding, the Bengals seized control and secured the victory.
However, the spotlight of the day belonged to Jake Browning, the Bengals quarterback, who achieved an impressive 354 yards, one passing touchdown, one rushing touchdown, and an 86.5% completion rate. He made NFL history as the first quarterback to accomplish all these feats simultaneously.
While one might have expected Peyton and Eli Manning, both Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks, to be more excited about the on-field action, the unexpected sight of bikini-clad individuals in mid-December likely caught anyone’s attention.
