The New York Jets gave Peyton Manning a picture to burn in his mind after he and co-host Luke Bryan compared the teams fandom to Taylor Swift s at the Country Music Association Awards on Wednesday.

The iconic former quarterback, who hosted the ceremony alongside country singer Bryan, set the stage for a joke about the team after declaring that Travis Kelce and Swift werent available to MC the award show.

Do you know the difference between Taylor Swift and the New York Jets? asked Manning.

Taylor can sell out a stadium, Bryan said.

You nailed it, Manning replied. I had you do that punchline, Luke, so I wouldnt get in trouble.

But the joke still led to a little trouble and the Jets let a picture from the teams Monday Night Football win over the Buffalo Bills do all the talking.

what are we talking about Peyton, the Jets wrote on X (formerly Twitter) along with a picture of a sold-out crowd at MetLife Stadium from earlier this year .
