The two-time Super Bowl MVP has quieted his critics Philadelphia Eagles Womens T-Shirt , throwing for five touchdowns and no interceptions in wins over the San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers the past two weeks.In beating the Niners, Manning engineered a late fourth-quarter drive capped by a touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard with less than a minute to play. He was nearly perfect Sunday, hitting 17 of 18 passes for 231 yards and three TDs in a 38-35 win over the Bucs.His 94.4 completion percentage was a team record in a game with at least 10 attempts, and it was tied for third highest in a game in NFL history with a minimum of 15 passing attempts. Alex Smith, when he played with the 49ers, and Ryan Tannehill of Miami share the top mark at 94.7 percent."You give Eli time to throw and that's what you are going to get," Shepard said Wednesday before the Giants (3-7) practiced for Sunday's game at Philadelphia (4-6). "The offensive line has been doing a great job blocking. He has been making the throws. The throws are on point."Manning tied his career high by completing his first 11 passes before failing to hook up with halfback Saquon Barkley on a wheel route.The Eagles have had their way against the Giants. They have won four straight, including a 34-13 win at MetLife Stadium on Oct. 11, a game in which the Giants were down 24-6 at halftime and 31-6 midway through the third quarter.Manning finished 24 of 43 for 281 yards. However, he was sacked four times and threw an interception on the second play from scrimmage, setting up the first of three touchdown passes by Carson Wentz."Last time we played them, I know exactly why they beat us," coach Pat Shurmur said. "We didn't do anything that you need to do against any type of team to win. We turned the ball over, we gave them big plays, we just didn't play well enough to beat any team, so we have to fix that. That's more about us."The 37-year-old Manning didn't give much of an answer when asked about the Eagles' recent success against New York."They've been good teams and obviously hey, every time you play, you got an opportunity," he said. "It's just about what matters is this game and this opportunity to go out there and get a win."The Giants are playing better heading into this meeting. The two-game winning streak is their longest since December 2016 and they have made changes, particularly on the offensive line. Spencer Pulley is now the center and Jamon Brown has been excellent at right guard since being added to the lineup two weeks ago.Tight end Evan Engram, who missed the Eagles game with a knee injury, is back and Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, had his best game last week, rushing for 142 yards and scoring three touchdowns: two running and one on a pass."I think we're running the ball better than we did, so I feel like we're playing better football, but we got to continue doing that," Manning said. "They're a good team, they're a good defense, they got a good front four and they're a little banged-up in the secondary, but they'll have a good plan and we just got to go execute."NOTES: A win by Dallas (5-5) over the Redskins (6-4) would help the Giants on Thanksgiving. Manning isn't going to root."We'll watch the game, but you never know how it's all going to end up or play out, so just watch," he said.Ben 10: College football prospects to watch in Week 6 Bryce Torneden, S ,1# Kansas (v. West Virginia, Saturday, 12 PM EST Philadelphia Eagles Hats , ESPN2)Kansas football players rarely garner draft hype, but the Jayhawks have a burgeoning star this year in Bryce Torneden. The junior safety has been a stalwart on the back end and his services will be in dire need against West Virginia’s high powered passing attack. Kansas is unlikely to upset the number nine ranked team in the country, but strong play by Torneden could propel him into the draft discussion. - NatanMarquise Brown, WR #5, Oklahoma (v. Texas, Saturday, 12 PM EST, FOX)The Red River Rivalry is one of this weekend’s most highly anticipated games. The game is no doubt going to be a high scoring affair between two top 20 teams. Marquise Brown is Oklahoma’s headlining playmaker on offense, outside of Kyler Murray of course.

The speedy pass catcher has over 500 yards through the air and Texas’ tough defense will be his biggest challenge yet. - NatanDarnell Savage, S #4, Maryland (v. Michigan, Saturday, 12 PM EST, ABC)Excited to see what Savage does against Michigan, man. Folks have been pumpin’ Savage up as a potential nickelback/safety hybrid player, which is interesting to me. I enjoyed watching Savage fly to the football against Texas in Week 1 when I was at FedExField, but I was more impressed with teammate Antoine Brooks Jr., and his ability as a potential safety/nickel player. My eyes will be in the Maryland backfield all game — corner Tino Ellis also has some traits. Jachai Polite, EDGE #99, Florida (v. LSU, Saturday, 3:30 PM EST, CBS)Polite was a rumble-y sort of player — might be good, probably isn’t there yet — coming into the season. Then, before his battle with a good offensive line in Mississippi State, some buzz started to grow louder: “Man, Polite’s having a good season, isn’t he?”Then the Bulldogs game — and wow, Polite put on a clinic. He’s officially on the bulletin board as a riser to watch, and facing an uber-physical team in LSU is a great way to string together two impact performances for NFL scouts.Evan Worthington, S #6, Colorado (v. Arizona State, Saturday, 4 PM EST, PAC12 Network)Colorado’s offense has caught a ton of the buzz thus far into their surprisingly strong season — but I have eyes on a couple players on the defensive side of the football in a big match-up against a good Arizona State team. Worthington is the first — he’s a rangy safety with really nice size and length who moves surprisingly well in space considering his frame. I’m not sure he’s a true cover man, but he offers some interchangeable traits that make him an interesting NFL piece for sure.Drew Lewis, LB #20, Colorado (v. Arizona State Philadelphia Eagles Womens Hoodie , Saturday, 4 PM EST, PAC12 Network)Lewis is the other player that really intrigues me on this Colorado defense. He’s one of Feldman’s freaks from the offseason — at 230, he power cleans 355, hits 1.50 in the 10-yard split, and broad jumps over 10’. That athleticism shows up on film: Lewis is super bursty into the contact point as a tackler, and is a good cover man in space as well. I’ll be interested to see how he handles physicality — Arizona State really wants to steamroll you with the running game.Tyrel Dodson, LB #25, Texas A&M (v. Kentucky, Saturday, 7 PM EST, ESPN)Dodson was in the news cycle last week for...less than great reasons. Not his fault: he was the player Jimbo Fisher shook by the facemask last week. Woof.But Dodson is a good player in his own right — he’s a very intelligent backer when he’s lined up off-ball, and he brings a nice brand of physicality when the Aggies drop him down to the line as a SAM rusher. I think his brand of football translates really nicely to handling this Kentucky offensive line, and I expect a good game from him.Josh Allen, EDGE #41, Kentucky (v. Texas A&M, Saturday, 7 PM EST, ESPN)Kentucky has been a pleasant surprise this year and pass rusher Josh Allen has been a catalyst for the Wildcats on defense. Allen has a staunch test this weekend against Texas A&M and their explosive offense. Allen’s blend of pass rushing and run stopping prowess will be put to task against a balanced Aggies gameplan. - NatanJonathan Abram, Safety, Mississippi State (v. Auburn, Saturday, 7:30 PM EST, ESPN2)The Bulldogs defense has star power in their front seven, but that shine has overpowered the performance of safety Jonathan Abram. The versatile playmaker has been a quiet stud in Starkville and will have a tremendous match up against Jarrett Stidham and the Auburn Tigers. Auburn will try to push the ball downfield all night, giving Abrams plenty of chances to make memorable moments for NFL evaluators. - NatanBryce Love, Running Back, Stanford (v. Utah, Saturday, 10:30 PM EST, ESPN)Bryce Love was a preseason Heisman favorite but has struggled to meet stratospheric expectations. After a 2,000 yard rushing campaign in 2017, the senior back is averaging a modest 4.2 yards per carry early this season. Against Utah, Love has a great opportunity to make up for lost time and feast on a vulnerable defense. He’s fallen out of favor with Heisman voters and draft analysts, but Love is still very much a talented player and he’s due for a big performance. - Natan
