Elisha Nelson "Eli" Manning is a professional football player and the starting quarterback for the New York Giants. He is the younger brother of Peyton Manning and Cooper Manning and the son of Archie Manning. Manning opened the 2007 season with an outstanding personal performance against the Dallas Cowboys, completing 28 of 41 passing attempts for 312 yards, 4 touchdowns, and an interception, but was, however, out-performed by Dallas Quarterback Tony Romo, who threw for 345 yards, 4 touchdowns, and also ran for a score in which would be the highest scoring Giants/Cowboys game ever, with a combined total of 80 points. During the fourth quarter, Eli Manning was removed from the game in favor of backup Jared Lorenzen after suffering an apparent shoulder injury. Despite reports that Manning would be out for a month, he suited up for the following week's game against the Green Bay Packers.
