The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gearing up for their Monday Night Football Wild Card matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Week 3. Both teams have taken different routes to get to this point and have looked the complete opposite of one another since that early season matchup with the Buccaneers finishing off their regular season with a 5-1 record, while the Eagles went 1-5.

With the Wild Card game scheduled for Monday night, the Buccaneers-Eagles game will be featured on the final Manningcast of the season. The Manningcast is an ESPN production that pits the Manning brothers - Peyton & Eli - on the screen while they cover whichever game is on while also hosting a slew of special guests.

Prior to Monday night’s matchup, Omaha Productions and the Manningcast announced who their special guests would be, and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Super Bowl-winning head coach Bruce Arians will be joining Peyton & Eli for the first half.

Arians joined the Buccaneers as their head coach in 2019 - just one year prior to the arrival of the greatest quarterback of all-time, Tom Brady.

The 2019 season was a struggle, but eventually, once Brady arrived and the Bucs went all-in to try and contend for Super Bowls, they were able to do just that as Arians was able to capture the organization’s second-ever Championship.

Over the course of his three-year tenure as the head guy in Tampa, Arians compiled a 31-18 record and 5-1 in the playoffs. He brought along a division title in 2021 and of course helped the Buccaneers win a Super Bowl in 2020.
