The Athletic

About 1.9 million watched Peyton and Eli Manning's second ESPN2 alternate Monday Night Football broadcast on Monday, up from 800,000 viewers last week. The social media raves from last week likely led to the big jump in viewership. ESPN's Monday Night Football MegaCast across ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Deportes drew 13.8 million viewers, making it the ESPN franchise's second-most-watched Week 2 game since 2014.
