NFL fans tuning into Browns-Bengals were in for quite a fright on Monday Night Football as Eli Manning reprised his memorable “Chad Powers” persona during the special Halloween edition of the Manningcast.
The 41-year-old Manning went viral last month after going undercover as Powers, a home-schooled freshman, at a Penn State football walk-on tryout. On MNF, the Giants legend opened the show again dawning the familiar blonde wig and fake nose, except the look resembled something more of a Michael Myers mask than the cleverly-crafted, Hollywood-level makeup job from his first appearance.
Eli explained to Peyton that he wore the mask earlier in the day to go trick-or-treating with his family, and kept it on after rushing to get ready for the start of the show. Of course, the innocent backstory, along with the proof on Manning’s Twitter, probably won’t erase the terrifying visual from anyone’s mind any time soon.
