| Summary: | That would put [Manning], who will be making his first playoff start, in a position where he would have to carry the Giants. It is the kind of career-defining opportunity that every NFL quarterback would love to have at some point. And if Manning is nervous about those prospects, he didn't show it during a brief press conference at Giants Stadium yesterday. You needed a mirror under his nose to see if he was even breathing. Manning is no stranger to pressure-packed game situations. He has had four fourth-quarter comebacks this season. Three of them did not lead to victories, but Manning grew up in the lone comeback victory (against Denver). The Giants were trailing by 13 points with 13 minutes to play against the Broncos and Manning engineered two TD drives to lead his team to a 24-23 win. Manning has felt the heat that Peppers can bring. During the preseason, Peppers injured Manning's elbow on a pass rush. |
