Super Bowl thread...

How clutch is Eli Manning? Pretty clutch. Twice he takes a team as a wild card through the playoffs winning 3 games on the road in January and winning a Super Bowl they are not favored to win in. All the hemming and hawing about him not being an elite quarterback can be flushed down the toilet. Pretty impressive. Stamped his bust in Canton.

You're correct...almost felt like the East winner was a wild card team. Still 2 games on the road in January is still pretty good.

Even better trivia question...can you name all the Super Bowls where the two STARTING quarterbacks were from the same state?

You forgot Norris Weese (Broncos Super Bowl 12) & David Woodley (Dolphins Super Bowl 17)
