Story summary

Brenda Song, an actress and avid fan of the Los Angeles Rams, is set to appear on "The Manning Cast", a pre-game show hosted by NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, ahead of Monday Night Football's Week 5 matchup between the Rams and the Buffalo Bills. This appearance marks her debut on "Monday Night Football," though she previously participated in a CBS broadcast during the Rams' preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. During that broadcast, Song got hands-on experience with commentary when Alex Cook intercepted Spencer Rattler for a 100-yard touchdown. On "The Manning Cast," Song introduced her goal line play idea dubbed as “Senda Brenda,” inspired by defensive end Kobie Turner’s suggestion and similar to the well-known “tush push” formation.
