SANTA CLARA, Calif. — There have been some unforgettable memories for Eli Manning on his trips to face the 49ers on the west coast.
A 24-6 win at Candlestick Park in 2005, just the second road win over his career. A 26-3 win at the ‘Stick in 2012. And, of course, that 20-17 overtime win in the 2011 playoffs, when he took a beating at the hands of the 49ers’ defense yet still led the Giants to a second Super Bowl appearance and set up his eventual MVP performance against the Patriots.
“That’s where I have some good memories early on,” Manning said.
