Week 7 of the 2022 NFL season resumed on Monday night when the New England Patriots hosted the Chicago Bears at Gillette Stadium on October 24. However, while all eyes were on the action in the field, former US President Barack Obama made a special appearance in ManningCast with Peyton Manning on ESPN2.
Obama is known to be a huge NFL fan and during his presidency, he invited both Peyton and his brother Eli Manning to the White House during Super Bowl 50, when the Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers 24-10.

Footage of Barack Obama’s ManningCast appearance was shared by the NFL on its social media handles during the game. In the footage, host Peyton Manning asked the former US President who was the better guest between him and his brother Eli when they visited the White House during Super Bowl 50.
“Mr President, we both had the pleasure of meeting you at the White House (during) Super Bowl 50. That was a real thrill. Just be honest, who was the better guest?” Peyton asked Obama on the show.
“I have to say that both of you guys were gentlemen and there were some silverware missing after that visit,” Obama said jokingly. “We had a great time,” he added.A
Obama’s ManningCast appearance came during a Monday Night Football game between the New England Patriots and the Chicago Bears. The visitors started the game brightly, with a field goal and a rushing touchdown by Justin Fields that saw them take a 10-0 lead in the first quarter.
However, the New England Patriots came back in the second quarter with a touchdown by Bailey Zappe only minutes after he came on. The touchdown helped the hosts to close the gap to 7-10 with 7:34 left of the clock for the second quarter.
