Emotional embrace with his family

Watching Manning enter the tunnel to be greeted by the smiling faces of his children and the tears of his wife, Abby, was an amazing moment to witness and if your eyes don’t well up seeing that, check your pulse.

Manning very clearly did all he could to hold in his tears, but his lip was quivering and for only the second time in his entire career (following Super Bowl XLII is the other), he showed genuine appreciative emotion.

Again, Eli won’t get to hoist the Lombardi Trophy and share that moment with his family, but he will forever have that warm embrace of his loved ones as the remaining 40,000 fans chanted his name.

Manning said it after the game and it’s 100 percent true — that is a moment that will forever be remembered.
