FOR A GOOD portion of his career, Eli Manning never met an interception he couldn't throw.
He was a gunslinger. He'd fire it over the middle late or throw across his body into traffic. Manning won two Super Bowls, so he wasn't totally careless. But he also led the league in picks three times.
This year, through five games and 197 pass attempts, he has just two interceptions.
"If there is any pressure, he throws it away," Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis said. "He's not taking the sack and he's not throwing the interception. He would rather take the intentional grounding and just eat the incomplete and play another down, and I think that's why their offense is pretty efficient.
