FRIENDLY CONFINES
Eli Manning has won both of his career starts in Arizona against the Cardinals, but it’s the one he played there against another team that comes immediately to mind. That would be Super Bowl XLII against the Patriots, played at University of Phoenix Stadium, on Feb. 3, 2008.
“I’ve obviously had some good memories there,” Manning said of the stadium.
In his three starts in the building Manning has completed a combined 71 of 107 passes for 816 yards, seven touchdowns, and just one interception.
Arizona was also the site of another important game in Manning’s career, one in which he did not actually play.
