It must be pretty fun being the son of Peyton Manning.
The former NFL quarterback took his son, Marshall, to a pair of Divisional Round playoff games over the weekend. Peyton and Marshall first watched the Baltimore Ravens defeat the Houston Texans 34-10 in Maryland on Saturday. Marshall wore a Lamar Jackson jersey to the game.
After that, the Mannings traveled to Michigan to watch the Detroit Lions defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 on Sunday. Marshall wore a throwback Barry Sanders jersey to the Lions game.
Last year, Peyton and Marshall traveled the Philadelphia Eagles-New York Giants game and the Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game in a similar two-day divisional round trek.
The Ravens will host the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game on Sunday and the Lions will go on the road to face the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC title game. The winners of those matchups will advance to Super Bowl LVIII.
If not at the conference championship games next weekend, we might see Peyton and Marshall at the Super Bowl in February. Such is the life of football royalty.

Jim Harbaugh and Peyton Manning spent time together on the Ravens sideline during Baltimore’s win.
And wow, Troy Aikman is really driving home his opinion that Harbaugh will be an NFL coach again. pic.twitter.com/1Yb9ytPjNU

Pretty freaking cool that Peyton Manning was on the #Ravens sideline for this game. Just blown away by that. I’ve been a big fan of his & now that respect factor has increased even more for me. #RavensFlock

Manning, 47, retired from the NFL in 2016. He won two Super Bowls, one with the Indianapolis Colts and one with the Denver Broncos. A five-time NFL MVP, Manning was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
