Eli Manning's wife, Abby, was in the building when the New York Giants played the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.

That might not sound surprising, as family members and loved ones of NFL players are often in attendance for games, and Philadelphia is a fairly short trip from the Giants' home stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. But Abby rarely would travel to Philadelphia for games in the past, apparently due to the behavior of Eagles fans in the crowd.

Her presence at the primetime matchup didn't go unnoticed, and her quarterback husband, who was starting for the first time since September, was asked about what brought her to break her cardinal rule.
