For football fans and many coaches, the phrase “halftime adjustments” is part of the language of the sport. It generally describes what happens in the locker room and any changes teams make for the second half.
But on their “ManningCast” during the Cowboys-Buccaneers wild-card game Monday, retired QBs Peyton and Eli Manning called halftime adjustments bunk.
“I don’t know if I ever made a halftime adjustment in my entire 18-year career,” Peyton Manning said during the ESPN broadcast. “I think that’s the biggest myth in football — the halftime adjustments. You go in, you use the restroom, you eat a couple of oranges and then the head coach says, ‘Alright, let’s go!’”
Eli Manning added, “You’re in there for like three minutes.”
