ELI MANNING, QUARTERBACK, NEW YORK GIANTS
The younger Manning but up almost identical statistics to his brother’s phenomenal night. Eli Manning also went 27 for 42 (64.3%) and had just 12 fewer yards – 450. The one stat where Eli could not match Peyton was touchdowns. Eli was only able to throw 4 (only!) touchdowns on the night, but he also threw 3 interceptions. Those last two numbers were a gigantic difference in the two bothers’ performances. One is 1-0, the other 0-1. For fantasy owners, both were huge.
