On ESPN’s “Manningcast” with brother Eli Manning, the Hall of Fame quarterback began the mockery by insisting he didn’t know Wilson was still on the Jets’ roster.
“Who is the backup, Richard Todd or Ken O’Brien?” Peyton asked, joking about Jets quarterbacks of yesteryear. “I didn’t think they had any other quarterback besides Aaron Rodgers,” the elder Manning continued.
With about 9:30 left in the third quarter, Eli asked his brother how many more times the team would have Wilson throw against the Buffalo Bills. “Three more at the most,” Peyton snapped.
Then Wilson went back to pass and scrambled far in reverse to avoid a sack. “Let’s just go backward,” Peyton said facetiously. “Let’s just run backward. It looks like Kurt Russell in …”
Peyton didn’t finish his reference, but it might have been Russell’s turn as a quarterback in 1986’s “The Best of Times” with Robin Williams.
On a brutal second-quarter turnover in which Wilson appeared to throw right at three defenders, Peyton blasted the QB for staring down the receiver in traffic. “They’re taking turns to see which one of them wanted the interception,” he said
