Eli Manning getting sacked at an alarming rate

Eli Manning says, “Every sack has got its own story.’’

If Manning wants to compile all of them in a bound edition, it will be a long, long book chronicling his tales of woe.

At 37 years old, he is getting hit and knocked down more often than any span in his 15-year career. Manning came into this season having been sacked 359 times, an average of 1.7 sacks per game. Lest we forget, he was never Eli Mobile and running away from pressure was never his strong suit. Manning has a pocket presence and he usually is fully-cognizant of the rhythm and movement of massive bodies swirling around him.
