Quick Summary

Brenda Song appeared on the "Manning Cast," where she pitched a goal line play called ‘Senda Brenda’ to Peyton and Eli Manning during a Los Angeles Rams game against the Buffalo Bills. While drawing out the play, Peyton learned it was originally named by Rams player Kobie Turner but recognized similarities to plays run by former coach Mike Leach, with whom Eli had previously discussed on his show "Eli’s Places." Song was enthusiastic about the connection and the brothers joked about putting her in a Rams jersey to run the play.

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.
