(Reuters) - Eli Manning's knack for taking risks finally ended in reward on Thursday, as the New York Giants' unpredictable quarterback walked a tight rope to his first win of the season.
The two-time Super Bowl winner has made a career out of living dangerously, producing both critical plays and head-scratching mistakes.
Manning had began the 2015 campaign doing more of the latter as his miscues led to an 0-2 start for the Giants.
He rediscovered some of his quarterback magic in time to lead New York to a 32-21 victory over the Washington Redskins on Thursday.
