KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Troy Aikman played only one game at Arrowhead Stadium during his Hall of Fame playing career. It was Dec. 13, 1998, and it ended with a Bam.

After Aikman led a furious fourth-quarter comeback to pull within 20-17, Kansas City got the ball back at the two-minute warning. And Marty Schottenheimer gave Rich Gannon just two words of instruction: Bam Morris.

With Dallas prepared to burn its final timeouts, the 244-pound back took the first handoff for 11 yards. His next two carries set up a critical third-and-3 with 1:48 remaining. True to his name, Morris slammed the door with a 17-yard burst.

He finished with 137 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries, and thanks to an earlier sack by Derrick Thomas and an interception by Jerome Ford, the Chiefs remained in the playoff hunt.

Buck (play-by-play) and Aikman (analyst) form the longest tenured broadcast team in NFL history, now in a 24th year together. That run began with FOX when they replaced Pat Summerall and John Madden, and in 2022 moved to ESPN’s Monday Night Football. Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge are the field reporters. Travis Kelce’s brother, Jason, will join the ESPN Countdown crew.

Peyton and Eli Manning have returned for a fifth season of the ManningCast. With alternate analysis and commentary, the Super Bowl-winning brothers also host of large variety of celebrities. This week, those guests have yet to be announced.
