Archie Manning has become quite familiar with Super Bowl pressure
For someone who didn’t get close to a Super Bowl as a playing quarterback, this will be Archie Manning’s third trip as the father of two quarterbacks.
Make that two back-to-back Super Bowl MVP quarterbacks.
If you were using a pressure-on-dad gauge, I’m guessing there will be less pressure on father Manning next Sunday, when Peyton tees it up against the New Orleans Saints, and was less pressure on Archie when Eli and the Giants against the Patriots, than when Peyton won his first.
I say this because there was never more pressure on Archie Manning, as a spectator, as there was watching Peyton win his first Super Bowl in Miami.
