Eli Manning, who entered Week 6 with the most passing attempts in the league, threw only 19 times in Sunday’s 23-10 win against the Broncos.
“As a quarterback, it’s not the ideal way you want to play,” he admitted during his Monday radio spot on WFAN. “You want to throw it.”
Sorry, Eli, but this looks like it will be the new normal for the Giants. Not because it worked, although that certainly helped, but because it’s who they are right now. They adjusted well in their first game without Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard, but two of those three receivers are gone for the season and the other, Shepard, is still nursing a sprained ankle that probably will keep him out until after the bye in Week 8.
