All eyes were on Eli Manning as he made his New York Giants return on Monday Night Football, replacing the injured Daniel Jones, who could miss the remainder of the season with a high ankle sprain.
So, how did Eli fare? How did he look after nearly 11 weeks on the sideline?
Well… He looked like Eli, mixing his passes well between short, moderate and deep lengths, making the right adjustments at the line and dropping dimes.
The first of two first-half touchdown passes went to rookie wide receiver Darius Slayton.
ELI.
