Under Sullivan, Giants quarterback Eli Manning has had his two most successful seasons of his career, including setting single-season franchise records of 359 completions and 4,933 yards this past season en route to earning MVP honors at Super Bowl XLV |

The 2011 49ers posted a 13-3 regular season record, took the NFC West division title, and won their first playoff game since 2002 with a 36-32 victory over New Orleans in the NFC Divisional round before falling to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship game.

Eli Manning's fearless and flawless effort in the late stages of his New York Giants' 21-17 edging of the Patriots at The House that Peyton Built, Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium, is certainly nothing new -- he's now engineered two Super Bowl-winning touchdown drives and three overall in the final minute against the very same foe wi |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - Perhaps the AFC needs some new blood. That was my prevailing thought after last night's highly entertaining Super Bowl, the New York Giants' second with Eli Manning under center in the last five seasons. Perhaps Peyton is Eli's brother, not vice versa. The large takeaway was the playoff dominance of New England, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh over the last nine seasons. The trio has won five Super Bowls and been to four others. Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger and Peyton Manning |

| Indianapolis, IN (MySportsbook) - Is Eli Manning elite? That's likely no longer a concern for the New York Giants quarterback. Manning won his second Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award Sunday after leading the Giants on another game-winning drive against the Patriots. He orchestrated an 88-yard march that ended in Ahmad Bradshaw's go-ahead six- yard touchdown with 57 seconds remaining that lifted New York to a 21-17 win. Of course, Manning also led an 83-yard drive to capture the 2008 Super Bowl over the |
