Injuries essentially left the Eagles playing their JV offense, but still they managed to claw back to force overtime. The Giants mustered just 29 yards of offense and picked up just two first downs after halftime. Rookie receiver Darius Slayton, who was seven years old when the Giants acquired Manning in a 2004 draft day trade, caught five passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns in the vintage opening half.īut, fittingly for a quarterback who oscillated from the highest highs and lowest lows during his 16-year career, Manning crashed and burned in the second half. Manning completed 11 of 19 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns to give the Giants a 17-3 lead at halftime. And, for 30 minutes, the 38-year-old delivered. Like legions of Giants fans forever indebted to Manning for his two Super Bowl MVP performances, Abby surely was hoping to witness one last night of magic. “I think it’s pretty obvious why it was important.” “I hadn’t played in three months and you don’t know if I’m going to play again,” Manning said.
