So now all of a sudden Eli Manning has a million TD game and the Giants are 2-2. NFL.com is talking Eli Manning all over their page like in stories titled, Eli Manning registers 5 TDs in Giants’ rout of Redskins
"Eli Manning, meanwhile, has rarely looked better.Manning had five touchdowns and was nearly flawless for much of the night, throwing dimes against an overmatched Redskins secondary. His accuracy was on point and the ball was out of his hand quickly. He even tossed in a few pretty deep throws for the first time all year.New York’s pass protection has been spotless for the last two weeks and their defense has forced nine turnovers in the Giants’ two-game run to 2-2."
Here’s the Box Score from the Giants vs Redskins game, but Eli was on fire, 28 of 39 passing, 300 yards, 4 TD’s thrown and he even ran one in himself. It was a performance worthy of attention, much like when Jamaal Charles scored five touchdowns on the Washington Redskins D just last season. It garners attention.
Inside the Iggles
The Larry Donnell to Eli Manning connection seems formidable, for an offense that seemed dead on arrival against Detroit and all throughout the preseason. Beating the Redskins was a decent accomplishment for the NY Giants as they now head to the Atlanta Falcons to face an offense that has also scored 103 points, but in one less game.
It will be a tough challenge for Eli Manning and the rebounding Giants as the Falcons will clearly see TEAM BLUE coming and they’ll have a few extra days to prepare for the Giants finally effective, west coast offense.
For now, Giants Nation just gets to enjoy another win in a rivalry they’ve own since the 1930’s, Giants vs Redskins.
