According to the nydailynews.com, Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium was supposed to be the turnaround game for the Giants. The same report added that it could have been the moment that Eli Manning of the New York Giants would beat his elder brother Peyton Manning from the Denver Broncos. However, this did not happen as the score was 0-2 when Peyton Manning entered the game.
Eli fell to 0-3 against Peyton which caused the Giants to fell 0-2 during the season. This made their Super Bowl dreams rapidly slipped through their fingers.
The loss of Eli against Peyton was the least of the Giants' worries. Eli who played with the Giants had thrown seven interceptions in two games. Their running game had lesser yards through two games than Broncos' back Knowshon Moreno had in this one. None of these seemed apparent earlier on as the Giant were on a striking distance through three quarters.
However, Peyton completed an 11 yard pass to tight end Julius Thomas after five plays. Thomas reached across the goal line which gave the Broncos 31-16 lead.
American NFL quarterback Peyton Manning has a net worth of USD115 million with annual salary of USD20 million and gets around USD8 million worth of endorsements per year.
