TMZ caught up and got Eli explaining the blank stare. I think you have to be a Giants fan to understand his reaction. He has the look of a guy having a PTSD type flashback having lost so many games in the last few minutes this year.

Then his face meant he had ice water in his veins after winning 2 rings.
Then he was sad his brother won the Super Bowl
...but some people say it's because he's a football player and knows it ain't over till it's over.
None of this is true! It's just the man's face!
Eli is a better man than me for even entertaining conversation with that idiot.
It is just because non Giant fans don't know who he is (as a person). Much-ado about nothing.
Only thing worse than TMZ is the people who continue to watch it.
Which makes no sense. Peyton's big reaction came when the Giants led a frantic two-minute drive that included one of the best plays of all time to go ahead against an unbeaten team.
The cameras panned to Eli in the fourth quarter of a game the Broncos had never trailed in, at a point where Denver's offense was doing nothing, and with a bit over three minutes in a game that, while in hand, still could have ended badly if the Panthers' subsequent drive had gone better for them.
Eli's face was funny for a quick joke, but the fact that people are taking it seriously is pretty sad.
Of course she is. That's an Ole Miss girl. ;-)

His father was mostly likely thinking the same thing.
It is a shame that a QB can't think as a QB at that moment without getting criticized or made a joke of.
Bizarro World.

Sports talk and issues have become somewhat childish.
Same story here, he wouldnt celebrate till the game is over.
