Eli Manning Outside the Huddle

For the Giants-Cowboys game, we asked our photographers to train their lenses on Eli Manning, who's already won one Super Bowl and would love to add a second. Here's a look at the Giants QB outside the huddle, beginning with his inclusion in the coin toss by former President George W. Bush.

Manning has started 73 consectuive games, which ranks third behind Brett Favre (271) and Peyton Manning (178) among active NFL quarterbacks.

Manning's winning percentage on the road (61.1%, 22-14) is slightly better than his percentage at home (59.4%, 22-15).

Only four quarterbacks have compiled at least 3,000 yards passing in each of the last four seasons: Manning, his brother Peyton, Drew Brees and Brett Favre.

Manning got the last laugh in Dallas, leading the Giants to a game-winning field goal on the last play of the game.

Being the good sport that he is, Manning sought out Dallas quarterback Tony Romo after the game.

Manning's aw-shucks attitude plays well for the cameras.

Manning wasn't sacked once by DeMarcus Ware and the Cowboys as he completed 25 of 38 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns in the 33-31 shootout.

Giants general manager Jerry Reese made sure to congratulate Manning after another clutch performance.

Manning and the Giants have bought into coach Tom Coughlin's no-nonsense approach.
