Can't spell "elite" without Eli

In shades of Super Bowl XLII, the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots Sunday (Nov. 6th) on a last second drive. In the big game four years ago Manning led the Giants down the field after a go-ahead score by Tom Brady and the Patriots. It was Super deja vu on Sunday as Manning got the ball back with about a minute less on the clock than he had in 2007 and with the help of Jeff Ballard's one handed catch in traffic (reminiscent of David Tyree's miracle catch) and subsequent touchdown grab, New York was able to emerge victorious 24-20 and move to 6-2 on the season.

This is the fourth time Eli has led a comeback in the final quarter this season. With older brother Peyton sidelined with a neck injury, Eli is the only Manning in the spotlight and he is taking full advantage of it.

Can we get this guy some more endorsements?
