SAN FRANCISCO — New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning says older brother Peyton has not talked to him about his playing future this week, adding that the legacy of the Denver Broncos quarterback is set, win or lose Super Bowl 50.
The younger Manning has won a pair of Super Bowl titles and Super Bowl MVP awards with the Giants compared to one for his celebrated big brother, but Eli said regardless of the outcome against the Carolina Panthers, Peyton has left a lasting mark.
"His impact on the game and the NFL, especially on the quarterback position, has been made," Eli told reporters on Wednesday about his 39-year-old brother, who holds a host of significant NFL quarterbacking records from an 18-year career.
