Eli Manning gave the opening football night of the New Meadowlands a play to remember it by, which isn’t easy to do in the preseason.
Luckily for Eli, the only lasting repercussion will be a scar.
“I feel fine. I feel normal,” Manning told the Giants’ website. “The play was my fault. We had a run play with an option to throw a fade that I thought I might try, but Brandon was coming right up the middle. Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head. It’s preseason.
“You learn from it. I’ll be back as soon as I can. It’s really not an injury. Nothing serious. I really feel like I could go back out and play right now if I had to.”
We’re really looking forward to the back pages of the tabloids on Tuesday. Headline suggestions, anyone?
