Come to think of it, we really haven’t talked too much about Eli Manning this season, have we?
With all the discussion about Earth, Wind & Fire, Osi Umenyiora’s season-ending injury, Michael Strahan’s retirement, Plaxico Burress’ child-care challenges and an offensive line that gets better every week, Manning has been about as inconspicuous as a Super Bowl-winning quarterback can be.
Time to put the young man back on the radar after yesterday’s 37-29 win over the resurgent Cardinals.
In a game that required the services of big-time quarterback play, and in the same stadium where he put on the most breathtaking performance of his young career, Manning again summoned the wherewithal to keep the Giants’ train moving at 10-1.
