The Breakdown will see Manning and Belichick focus on the two teams playing on Monday Night Football in that given week. Each 30-minute episode of the series is produced in conjunction with NFL Films and will have Manning and Belichick dissect the upcoming game in the film room.

Belichick will also join Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli alternate telecasts to provide more insight during the game. Belichick’s first appearance on the ESPN2 and ESPN+ show is set for Week 1 on September 9 in the Jets and the 49ers match.

Additionally, Belichick’s talent will be featured on The Pat McAfee Show every Monday of the NFL season. The former Patriots head coach will have an extended conversation on all things NFL, including reaction to the week’s headlining game results, storylines, and more. Belichick’s first appearance on the program came during the fifth annual Draft Spectacular, which drew record-breaking viewership across social platforms.

Belichick was previously confirmed to provide analysis on The CW’s Inside the NFL, joining Ryan Clark and former players Chad Johnson and Chris Long. Inside The NFL returns for its second season on The CW on Friday, August 30.

Taylor Fritz beats Frances Tiafoe to become the first American man in a US Open final since 2006
When Taylor Fritz, a 26-year-old from California, and Frances Tiafoe, a 26-year-old from Maryland, strode under the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights Friday night for the first U.S. Open semifinal matching two American men in 19 years, the crowd might have been forgiven for not knowing which to support. In the end, the roars were for Fritz, who surged with a six-game run against a fading Tiafoe to come out on top 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 and reach his first Grand Slam final. “It’s the reason why I do what I do,” Fritz told the fans, his voice cracking during a post-match interview.

Xavier Worthy scores 2 TDs in NFL debut, giving the Chiefs' offense another dangerous dimension
The Kansas City Chiefs selected Xavier Worthy in the first round of the NFL draft in April with the expectation that the speedy wide receiver out of Texas would give their offense some much-needed pop. It took Worthy five plays in a season-opening 27-20 win over Baltimore on Thursday night to prove it was a wise decision. On their first possession, trying to match the Ravens' opening touchdown, Patrick Mahomes found second-year pro Rashee Rice for a couple of nice gains.
