This is what winning looks and sounds like.
An easy question lobbed at Eli Manning: What do you think of Saquon Barkley vaulting over defenders?
Without hesitation, Manning in his much-practiced deadpan: “Well, there are very few of us who can do that. I’m just waiting for my opportunity. It hasn’t arrived yet. It’s out there.’’
There is no place for this banter and frivolity — or the imagery of gravity-bound Eli actually trying to leap over anyone — when one loss blends into the next.
