A behind-the-bench account of Eli Manning's final start

Britt in VA : 1/24/2021 12:45 pm
The Giants (and some beats) have been posting a lot about Eli Manning's retirement today, on the one year anniversary. Here is a fun account of his final start. Excellent read on Giants.com.

“Eli tells team photographer Evan Pinkus that his fly is down. He falls for it. ”
Excellent!

Will be some good trivia one day that Eli's last snap was a handoff to "Buck Allen" for a one-yard loss. Ha.
Why did I have to slice onions while reading this?

2:11 p.m. – Eli throws his first interception. You see something that resembles anger in his face as he comes back to the bench, but it quickly dissolves into resolve. Helmet off. Beanie on. Back to the tablet with Jones, Tanney, and Pridy. Eli throws another interception in a last-ditch attempt to score at the end the first half. The Giants trail, 10-7.

PART III: IT'S HAPPENING

2:40 p.m. – The Giants get just what they needed. Eli hits rookie wide receiver Darius Slayton for a 26-yard gain on the first play of the second half. Eli then finds Cody Latimer for 21 more yards and the offense has the momentum now. After a Saquon Barkley run and an illegal use of hands penalty on Miami, Eli connects with Slayton again – this time in the end zone. 23-13, Giants. Helmet off. Beanie on. Back to the tablet with Jones, Tanney, and Pridy.

Should be 14-10. End of the 3rd it was 23-13
