At 38 years old, Eli Manning's best days could be past him. He is a Giants legend, no matter how the season pans out. After starting the season's opening two games against Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills, the Giants decided it's time to bench Manning in favour of 2019 first-round pick Daniel Jones. But luck soon ran out for the Giants, which saw them lose eight games in a row to drop to the bottom of the National Football Conference – Eastern Division (NFC East) with a 2-10 (win-loss record).
