The real reason why Eli Manning's high completion percentage isn't helping Giants

Giants quarterback Eli Manning is off to his most efficient start to a season in his 15-year NFL career, yet the Giants' offense is fifth from the bottom of the league in scoring amid an uninspiring 1-3 start.

While Manning has completed an eye-popping 74.2 percent of his passes, he ranks No. 21 in the league with an average of just 6.99 yards per attempt.

Even Manning doesn't have the answer for why his high completion percentage hasn't translated to a higher yards per attempt or more than 18.3 points per game.

"I haven't specifically looked at that," Manning said, when asked by NJ Advance Media why his completion percentage isn't translating to more productive pass plays.
