Eli Manning has a repeat of his last super bowl run; started out mediocre and then came back in those moments that counted the most. Eli knew that in those playoff games he had to play his best, after all his coach always preached “finish strong” to the team. With 15 in the fourth quarter Manning states that those circumstances are what make his best plays come out especially in the two minute drive. “The guys know that a big play in the two minute drive really counts, our best football in the fourth quarter is what really counts” stated Eli n his interview on NBCSports. With his week off Manning states that his body really needed a little rest, with no big hits he was sore but nothing unbearable. This will be the second time Eli plays on brother Peyton's field against Tom Brady in the super bowl. And then there is Peyton who has sat out the season due to a serious neck injury. Eli stated that Peyton has a great desire to play football, but he has to do rehab for his neck before he can get back on the field. With Peyton’s neck injury it is unclear as to his future; will the 49ers pick up Peyton, likely not, but hopefully so. Having such a serious injury Peyton Manning may need to rethink his career because we all know that teams are rethinking drafting him. It is hard to say if Peyton will be returning to football at all, which after 17 years will be quite an adjustment for the player. The Manning brothers are both great football stars and we hope to see them both on the field where they belong.
