Being Peyton Manning clearly has its perks. The same goes for Peyton Manning’s son.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl champion made the most of his divisional round weekend with an East Coast swing for Saturday’s Giants-Eagles game in Philadelphia. He then drove to Orchard Park for the Bengals-Bills matchup on Sunday, bringing his son Marshall with him.
Manning and his son stood on the sidelines for both games, with Marshall wearing the jerseys of the quarterbacks for the two home teams: Jalen Hurts on Saturday and Josh Allen on Sunday.
Peyton and Marshall even took a pregame photo with Allen, which Peyton revealed earlier in the season was Marshall’s favorite player. The news broke while Allen was a guest on Peyton and Eli Manning’s Monday Night Football show. Peyton shared a story about how Marshall decided to incorporate Allen as part of his youth football kit.
“What’s not cool is that we’re the Bills, our flag football team. And you can put your last name on the back… I want him to write ‘Manning’ on the back of his jersey,” Manning told Allen. “What is he writing instead? ‘J Allen. “Tell me how to interpret that, and would you please tell him that’s not a nice way to treat his father?”
