Peyton Manning Filming Season 5 in Cincinnati

Peyton Manning Visits Cincinnati to Film Season 5 of Peyton’s Places — Sparks Throwback Jersey Buzz

Cincinnati football fans got a surprise this week as Peyton Manning was spotted at Paycor Stadium, filming for Season 5 of his hit ESPN+ series, Peyton’s Places. But it wasn’t just the visit that had fans buzzing—it was the vintage Ken Anderson jersey Manning wore that set off a wave of speculation.

The upcoming season will spotlight Paul Brown’s legendary legacy in the Queen City and the evolution of football in Cincinnati. The episode, which is set to premiere in November on ESPN+, is expected to offer a deep dive into the Bengals’ rich history—from their roots under Paul Brown to their modern-day rise under Joe Burrow.

Manning’s choice to rep Anderson’s classic No. 14 jersey has sparked talk of a potential Bengals throwback uniform revival. With the NFL recently loosening restrictions on alternate and retro uniforms, the timing couldn’t be better for Cincinnati to bring back a look that pays tribute to the legends who laid the foundation.

Bengals fans have long clamored for a return of the team’s retro styles, and Manning’s nod to Anderson—one of the franchise’s all-time great quarterbacks—may be a subtle hint of what’s to come.

Whether it’s nostalgia or a new era of appreciation for Bengals history, one thing is clear: Cincinnati is ready to celebrate its football roots, and Peyton’s Places will help tell that story to a national audience.

Stay tuned for more updates and catch the full episode this November on ESPN+.
