Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning got to see one of his sons win a Super Bowl and Most Valuable Plyer in a city special to his family. It wasn't Peyton Manning, who hoped to lead the Colts to a Super Bowl title in their own stadium but wound up missing the season while recovering from neck operations.
It was a sight that was so familiar for Colts fans. A quarterback named Manning got the ball, trailing in the fourth quarter, and he coolly and systematically led his team to victory. It wasn't Peyton this time, it was Eli. And it wasn't the Colts, either. It was the New York Giants who rallied to a thrilling 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Eli Manning is elite, for sure. A king of comebacks, too. And far, far more than Peyton's little brother now. Spot-on from beginning to end Sunday night, Eli Manning won his second NFL championship in a four-year span -- and second Super Bowl MVP award -- for coolly, calmly steering the New York Giants to a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots with a last-minute touchdown drive.
