INDIANAPOLIS
Eli Manning had a feeling this would come back to haunt the Giants. He was correct.
It had been a positively magnificent showing by the 37-year-old quarterback, who resembled the passer who put together a signature performance in this building nearly seven years earlier. He was throwing darts the way he did on that wondrous evening against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium. Manning sprayed the ball around effortlessly and even finished off a drive with a rare quarterback sneak into the end zone. He was getting the better of Andrew Luck, and the Giants seemed on their way to an upset win over a Colts team that desperately needed a victory to remain in the AFC wild-card race.
