Eli could be playing his final home game

Not that the Giants have much to play for, but if the Big Blue faithful comes out in force to say one final goodbye to the most prolific quarterback in franchise history, the Giants could ride this emotional wave to victory.

Eli Manning is filling in for rookie Daniel Jones and will not be back next year. Jones was running this week on his injured ankle and could be thrust back into action as soon as next week’s game in Washington. That means Eli is in charge this week and whatever fans didn’t ditch their tickets on the secondary market will be on hand to give the future Hall of Famer a proper sendoff.
