You can't spell believe without Eli.
With critics of Eli Manning mounting to include former teammates and the Giants off to a 1-5 start, coach Pat Shurmur quickly put to rest any thoughts of a quarterback change during the long layoff before an Oct. 22 visit to the Falcons.
"We believe in Eli," Shurmur said.
Manning completed a season-low 55.8 percent of his passes and threw an interception that put the Giants in a hole two minutes into the game during a 34-13 loss to the Eagles. He only has six touchdown passes in six games while passing and scoring are up all across the NFL.
