First of all, he is known because his older brother Peyton is also his rival! Peyton Manning is currently playing for the football team: the Denver Broncos. Whenever, the Broncos and Giants, or any other pair of teams the two are a part of, face off with Eli and Peyton playing then the match is called a Manning Bowl. So far, there have been three Manning Bowls. The first one was held on September 10, 2006 and Peyton’s Colts beat Eli’s Giants by a score of 26 to 21. The second one was held on September 19, 2010 and Peyton and his team defeated Eli’s team again by a score of 38 to 14. The third Manning Bowl took place on September 15, 2013 and Peyton went 3 to 0 against Eli, when Peyton’s Broncos blew out Eli’s Giants once again by a score of 41 to 23.

So far, his total of awards and acknowledgements are 45; his total of NFL, or National Football League, records is 5; and his total number of records in the Giants Franchise is 12. Some of his most amazing records include: his longest pass completion and touchdown which was 99 yards in 2011 and is both a NFL and a Giants franchise record, his most game-winning drives in a season was 8 in 2011 which is a NFL record, and his most interceptions thrown in a season was 25 in 2010 which is a Giants franchise record. Those aren’t the only things that make him famous he also has done many good things for his fans, too. One thing is that he actually showed up on T.V. commercials to bring awareness to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in 2010. In addition, in the state of Mississippi, Eli took a 5-year campaign in 2007 to raise 2.5 million dollars to build “The Eli Manning Children’s Clinic.” It was at the University of Mississippi Medical Center Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children. Eli wanted it to be built because he likes the work the hospital does and wants to serve Mississippi families for years to come. Eli has also hosted the Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s Golf Classic which is the oldest and largest charity golf event in Westchester County, New York. Guiding Eyes is a nonprofit guide dog school serving the blind from around the world, as well as children with
Manning was a true captain and one of my favorite football players of all-time”. He was an amazing talent and his exhilarating playing style left fans speechless and breathless. His talent is a partial reason that College Football became so popular to watch on television. Especially when Manning performed like he did in the 1969 game against the Alabama Crimson
The rivalry mainly consists of nasty fights, broken bones, accusations and allegations. According to Cohn, “If during the past decade the franchises had not forges what is considered to be the NFL’s most intense, competitive and bone-crunching rivalry.” (Cohn 1) The league continues to dismiss the rivalry as much as possible describing it as friendly rough competition but according to the players it seems sometimes more than that. Terrell Suggs is a current linebacker for the Ravens that has experienced first-hand the rivalry.
He then went undrafted in 2010 until the New York Giants signed him. The very next season Cruz had a breakout year by leading the league in receiving yards. In that spectacular season Cruz then led the franchise to Super Bowl XLVI in 2011, where they won against the New England Patriots 21-17. While Cruz was growing up he was surrounded by gangs and drugs up and down the streets of Paterson, New Jersey. The chances of Cruz excelling and being a professional athlete was very few due to how he grew up.
Brady has five Super bowl victories and seven appearances(XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLII, XLVI, XLIX, LI). Furthermore Brady was the youngest play to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. However two years later in 2003 he won the super bowl after a 2-2 start, then again in 2004 he won the big game again. By doing so Brady made the patriots not only a dynasty, but the only team since John Elway and the broncos to repeat super bowl victories. No other team since 2004 has been able to repeat Super bowl victories.
He made a record of four Pro Bowl for the Dallas Cowboys, that is like one of the best records. Romo has been in 347 games, and has passed the ball 4,483.

When Romo was playing, he was one who helped the Dallas Cowboys win games.
The Green Bay Packers is one of the most popular NFL teams, even though it’s situated in the smallest town in the league. The Packers are an iconic franchise, and one of the faces of the NFL. As one of the most storied football franchises, the packers have a very rich history. The Green Bay Packers was thought of in an editorial room at the Green Bay Press-Gazette. The franchise was started by August 11, 1919 (Birth).
Most Valuable Player Award after completing 22 of 30 passes for 273 yards and four touchdowns. By the age of 27, Troy Aikman of the Dallas Cowboys won two Super Bowls. It was a feat that just five other quarterbacks had accomplished in NFL history. And none had done so as young as Aikman. A prototype quarterback at six-foot-four, 220 pounds, with a rocket arm, Aikman emerged in the early 1990s as one of pro football's brightest stars.
One other problematic he tends to have is not knowing that he can’t engage in blocking a defense back while the ball is still in the air. No points off turnovers One thing I noticed while watching the Giants vs Redskins game on Sunday that Manning threw three costly interceptions. But Washington’s offense could not score one single point off those three turnovers.
But the team rallied to finish 10-6 and became NFC champions after defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys, and Green Bay Packers in the playoffs. The Giants set the record for the most consecutive road wins, which currently stands at 11.Although the undefeated New England Patriots entered Super Bowl XLII as 12-point favorites, the Giants came through with one of the biggest upsets in the history of the game.

But in that season Tom got one of his PR and a NFL record of 5,235 passing yards to only tie with Drew brees. Also in 2007 Tom threw the most touchdown passes but was later broken .
