Peyton won't be the only Manning in Canton ... so says Joe Buck who strongly believes Eli Manning has also earned his bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The NFL on FOX announcer has covered a TON of Eli's games over the years and says it's crystal clear to him that the NY Giants QB gets in the Hall.

It's definitely not a lock ... but Eli has a pretty strong resume -- 2 Super Bowl wins (he was the MVP of both games) and he's in the Top 10 all-time in TD passes and passing yards.

It might not be a popular opinion, but Bengals Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz thinks Marvin Lewis should be back on Cincinnati's sidelines next season.

The 11-time Pro Bowler says Lewis doesn't deserve all the blame for the Bengals' 5-9-1 record with one week to go in the season ... pointing out the injuries and staff changes that have plagued the team.

"I'm willing to say okay, he's got another year on his contract. Let's see what happens if everybody gets healthy."

Business is BOOMIN' for Antonio Brown -- because he just won ... A BRAND NEW CAR ... courtesy of Brandon Marshall.

Remember back in July, the NY Jets WR bet his prized Porsche against Brown's Rolls-Royce that he would end the 2016 NFL season with more receiving yards than AB.

Well, here we are going into Week 17 ... and Brown has a 496 yard lead.

Yeah, WINNER!!!

Don't worry, Brown has a plan for Marshall -- "You could send me the pink slip, or donate the car to @PROJECT375!" (It's an organization dedicated to eradicating the stigma surrounding mental health).

We're guessing he takes door #2.

Brown added, "Glad we’re both healthy, mentally and physically!!"

Congrats!

8:31 AM PT -- Officials have also released the autopsy report which show Salaam's blood alcohol level was 3 times the legal limit when they found his body.

Officials also note Salaam tested positive for THC -- the key ingredient in marijuana.

The report says Salaam had a history of depression and "recent life stressors."

Salaam's body was found next to his girlfriend's car ... along with a handwritten note and $63 in cash.

Rashaan Salaam died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head ... and his official cause of death is now listed as "suicide" ... this according to the Boulder County Coroner's Office.

The former Heisman Trophy winner was found dead at a park near the University of Colorado on Dec. 5 ... and though all signs pointed to suicide, officials would not release the cause of death until their investigation was complete.

Cops had previously said a gun was found near Salaam's body.

Officials are hoping to prevent tragedies like this moving forward and encourage anyone who may have suicidal thoughts to call the Colorado Crisis Service (1-844-493-TALK) for support.

If you have doubts the Cowboys will win the Super Bowl, this video might erase them ... look at how cool their rookie QB Dak Prescott is from an all-out spitball assault from MVP candidate Zeke Elliott.

Prescott was minding his business trying to give the media some serious locker room answers when Zeke started blitzing him with some middle school variety pressure ... and it's hilarious.

Tampa Bay Bucs running back Doug Martin just announced he's entering a treatment facility after violating the league's drug policy.

Martin just issued a statement saying, "I was notified last week of a four-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy."

The 27-year-old did not reveal which substance he tested positive for though NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting the substance in question is Adderall.

"My initial instinct was to appeal the suspension and finish the season with my teammates. However, after numerous discussions with people close to me -- including Coach Koetter -- I am starting the suspension immediately so I can enter a treatment facility and receive the help I truly need."

"On the field, I must be strong and determined to push through both pain and injuries to become an elite NFL running back. Off the field, I have tried that same approach in my personal life. My shortcomings in this area have taught me both that I cannot win these personal battles alone and that there is no shame in asking for help."

"I sincerely apologize to the Glazer family, General Manager Jason Licht and the entire Tampa Bay organization, my teammates and our tremendous fans. This was not the season I envisioned and I have let everyone down, including myself. However, adversity yields opportunity and I ask for your support in my battle to overcome these personal issues."

Martin fell off big time in 2016 after a stellar 2015 season in which he rushed for more than 1,400 yards.

He missed 6 games this season due to injury but even when he was healthy he didn't play well ... only averaging 2.9 yards per carry.

TMZ Sports has obtained footage of the terrifying 2015 standoff between ex-NFL player Ray McDonald and the mother of his child ... video that was at the center of his domestic violence case.

Buffalo Bills star Marcell Dareus was in shock when he found out the team plans to sit QB Tyrod Taylor next week ... and it all went down on the "TMZ Sports" TV show.

Dareus was telling the guys how the team is handling the sudden departure of head coach Rex Ryan -- "It's not going over very well" -- when we asked about reports that EJ Manuel will start next week so the team wouldn't be on the hook for a FAT payout in case Tyrod got hurt.

The 2-time Pro Bowler had no idea about the QB change ... and couldn't believe it ... especially after Tyrod played so well last week.

Rex Ryan is out in Buffalo ... and so his brother, Rob Ryan.

The Bills made the announcement moments ago.

"Rex Ryan has been relieved of his duties as head coach. Anthony Lynn will serve as interim head coach."

Nothing fires up a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader like a big fat "W" ... and Monday night, the squad celebrated the big victory over the Lions with an "All I Do Is Win" dance party.

Jay Glazer says there's no doubt that NFL star Michael Floyd needs help with his drinking ... but still thinks the New England Patriots made a smart decision picking up the troubled wide out.

We got Glazer out at Craig's in West Hollywood and asked his thoughts on the disturbing video of Floyd completely passed out in his car on the streets of Arizona.

Floyd wasn't just a little drunk ... his BAC was .21 which in Arizona is defined as a "Super Extreme" DUI and carries a stiffer penalty by law enforcement.

Glazer says Floyd -- who had another DUI while balling at Notre Dame -- needs some help -- but still thinks the Pats picking him up after the Cardinals cut him was nothing but good football.

'SNL' star Pete Davidson is sticking to his guns in his beef with the NFL's weed policy ... saying the league suspending a player for using marijuana to deal with his Crohn's disease is "terrible."

The player Davidson's talking about is Buffalo Bills lineman Seantrel Henderson ... who was hit with a 10 game ban after a 2nd violation of the league's substance abuse policy earlier this year.

Henderson suffers from Crohn's -- a painful, chronic, disease of the digestive tract -- and has argued that he needs pot to manage the pain associated with the condition.

Marcedes Lewis says there's one thing UCLA stud athlete Lonzo Ball needs to avoid like the plague while he's tearing it up for the Bruins ... the one thing that can derail his entire college career.

THE DREADED THOTS OF WESTWOOD.

Ball is DOMINATING for UCLA right now ... with a lot of people saying he's already a lock for Player of the Year honors ... and maybe even the #1 pick in the draft.

We got Marcedes -- who was a stud football player for UCLA last decade -- at LAX and asked if he had any advice for Lonzo on dealing with the ladies ... and Marcedes said there's one type to watch out for.

How does Ezekiel Elliott say thank you around the holidays? With 8 badass, custom, off-road whips that cost over $16k each ... for every one of his offensive lineman.

Zeke gifted his O-line with a bunch of John Deere 855D S4 Crossovers. They start at $16,099.

FYI -- Elliott's had a monster year rushing behind the Cowboys line ... arguably the best in football. In other words, they deserve the gifts.

Just be SAFE!!!!

Porsha Williams says Kordell Stewart is DEAD WRONG for insinuating she had anything to do with the release of a naked video featuring the ex-NFL star ... saying the whole thing smells like a publicity stunt.

We broke the story ... Kordell says a naked video of him was stolen and released without his permission and he pointed the finger at his ex-wife, Porsha, claiming she had something to do with it.

But we just spoke with Porsha -- and she ain't havin' it.

"This is obviously a publicity stunt that Kordell and maybe one of his partners in crime came up with."

"The truth is I have not spoken with Kordell Stewart since the day I signed our divorce decree. I have nothing to do with Kordell 'TOOTING' his derrière to the camera for the world to see."

She adds, "I would suggest Kordell find another hobby and wish him a very Happy New Year."

Kordell Stewart says newly surfaced video purportedly showing the ex-NFL star in the nude is real -- but it was stolen -- and he's pointing the finger at his reality star ex-wife.

TMZ Sports spoke with the former Pittsburgh Steelers QB who says he's outraged that the video went public because he had made it specifically for a woman he was dating at the time.

Stewart says he's already contacted his lawyers and plans to rain down hell on whoever released it.

Kordell says his #1 suspect is his ex-wife, Porsha Williams -- claiming she had sent him text messages warning him to "prepare for war" ... and he believes she was referring to the tape.

As for reports that Kordell had made the video for another man, the ex-NFL star tells us it's "bull****" -- and says that, while he respects gay people, that's just not who he is.
