Eli Manning Named NFC Offensive Player of the Week: QB Eli Manning has been selected as the “NFC Offensive Player of the Week” for his performance against the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday.
Manning completed 16-of-23 passes for 254 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. It was the sixth time that Manning threw four touchdown passes in a game. That is the second-highest total in Giants history, behind Y.A. Tittle (seven).
Manning’s passer rating was 145.7, the fifth-highest by a Giants quarterback in the 523 regular-season games since the 16-game schedule was introduced in 1978.
The fourth-quarter comeback victory over the Eagles was the 15th of Manning’s career. This is Manning’s second “NFC Player of the Week” award and first since Week 2 of the 2006 season, when he also led the Giants in a comeback victory over the Eagles in Philadelphia. Manning is 5-2 as a regular season starter in Philadelphia.
