Eli Manning looked more like the quarterback who won two Super Bowl MVPs at the end of the game against the 49ers than he has in quite a while. And there have been a few other times this season when he’s come close to that as well. Those situations have almost all been late in games when the Giants put a little giddy up in their offensive pace and start to play with more urgency.
So why not go to the hurry-up mode more often and not save the two-minute drill until the final two minutes? That may be something the Giants consider moving forward, beginning with Sunday’s game against the Bucs at MetLife Stadium.
