The Giants have had trouble moving the ball offensively this season, only averaging 15.6 points per game, which is next to last in the league in scoring.
This season, Manning has thrown for 2,411 yards with 14 touchdowns, seven interceptions and seven fumbles.
The last time Manning missed a start was November 14, 2004, as Kurt Warner led the Giants in a 17-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

If the Giants think that Geno Smith somehow is a better QB than Eli, they are totally delusional. Eli is surrounded by inferior players, yet he is held liable for the poor record of the team.
