EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- When Eli Manning was playing for Ole Miss, his elder brother Peyton, who already established himself as one of the top passers in the NFL, taught him how to study films and how to read the defense.
Time has past. Now Peyton gave another lesson to Eli in their first head-to-head matchup in professional football -- how to win a game, that is.
During the Indianapolis Colts' 26-21 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night, Peyton completed 25 of 41 passes for 276 yards, throwing for one score and an interception. Not a very spectacular performance considering the spectacular standard he's set for himself, including the NFL's single-season touchdown record (49 in 2004).
