Did not cost Giants draft positioning
How this plays out over the final two weeks remains to be seen, but Manning’s win on Sunday did not damage the team’s draft positioning. Despite the win, they are still slated to select No. 2 overall.
That’s a good combination for Manning — prevent a franchise-worst losing streak while not doing any damage to the future of the organization.
How fitting is that reality? Again, it’s just such an Eli thing.
