ELI Manning won his second Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award and has now grown to be a lot more than just Peyton Manning's little brother now.
Manning had 30 completions from 40 throws for 296 yards, with one touchdown pass and zero interceptions. He opened the game by becoming the first quarterback to complete his first nine attempts in a Super Bowl. And he finished his work by directing the nine-play, 88-yard TD drive that put New York ahead with 57 seconds left.
"He deserves all the credit in the world, because he really has put his team on his shoulders all year," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said.
Manning was also MVP in 2008, when he threw a scoring pass in the final minute to help New York upset New England and ruin the Patriots' bid for a perfect season. He now is one of only five players in NFL history with multiple Super Bowl MVP awards. He joined Brady, along with Terry Bradshaw, Bart Starr and Joe Montana (the only player with three). And Manning did it in the stadium where his older brother Peyton, a four-time regular-season MVP but owner of only one Super Bowl title, plays for the Indianapolis Colts.
"It just feels good to win a Super Bowl. Doesn't matter where you are," Manning said. "It's been a wild season. We had a great, tough bunch of guys who never quit, and had faith in each other. I'm proud of these guys sticking together."
