Peyton Manning Floats Five NFL Rule Ideas on ManningCast

The Hall of Famer pitched QB-focused fixes during ESPN’s alternate MNF broadcast as food for thought.

Overview

  • During the LionsRavens ManningCast, Peyton Manning outlined five suggested changes inspired by the NBA’s new end‑of‑quarter stat rule.
  • He said end‑of‑half Hail Mary interceptions should be recorded as team interceptions rather than charged to quarterbacks.
  • He argued that consecutive false start and offside penalties inside the 10-yard line should return the offense the full five yards.
  • He called for eliminating “targets” as an official stat and for penalizing certain batted passes with an automatic replay of the down.
  • He proposed on‑field cash handoffs to quarterbacks for fines resulting from hits as a public deterrent, noting the money would go to charity, and coverage described the segment as partly tongue‑in‑cheek with no formal NFL action reported.
