Eli Manning gives it his best shots downfield with deep balls

The Giants weren’t completely successful on Sunday in their effort to become a big-play passing team. But boy, did they sure try.
Eli Manning may have connected on only three passes of 20 yards or longer (one was nullified by a holding penalty) in the Giants’ 41-13 win in St. Louis, but that didn’t stop the coaches from calling for the deep pass. In fact, six of Manning’s nine incompletions were deep throws, including five in the direction of receiver Amani Toomer.
