From ESPN PR, here are some of the anticipated show highlights: Feeling Lucky: Rookie quarterback Andrew Luck has turned the Indianapolis Colts into a playoff contender. He sets the tone with his arm and, surprisingly, with his tackling. After throwing an interception last week, Luck tracked down and tackled Jacksonville safety Dawan Landry. Countdown examines the message Luck is sending his teammates by not shying away from confrontation and delivering some unexpected big hits. When Legends Talk: Whether it’s Joe Namath, Joe Theismann, or Roger Staubach, it is not uncommon to hear NFL legends criticizing their former teams in the press. What impact do comments by the legends have on the teams? How frustrating are these comments for coaches and players? Reporter Greg Garber explores how these comments more often than not serve as distractions. Painting Peyton Manning’s Comeback: During ESPN’s October 15th Monday Night Football game, quarterback Peyton Manning orchestrated an incredible comeback against the San Diego Chargers. Down 24-0 at the half, the Broncos scored 35 points and Manning threw three touchdown passes, pulling off the fourth biggest regular-season comeback in NFL history. On Countdown, artist Marissa Madonna paints a portrait of the victory that turned Denver’s season around. Flacco Goes Deep: Quarterback Joe Flacco and the Ravens feature one of the best big-play offenses in football. ESPN’s premier expert for the quarterback position Ron Jaworski, who played the position for 17 seasons and studies the Xs and Os of football via game films, traveled to Baltimore to examine the growing chemistry between Flacco and his receivers, ahead of their NFC North showdown with the Steelers.
