Eli Manning now has two Super Bowl titles. That’s impressive. Not many quarterbacks have multiple Super Bowl titles. Let’s see. Bart Starr, Bob Griese, Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, Jim Plunkett, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, John Elway, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger. And now Manning.
Impressive. But this is more impressive. Eli Manning now has five road victories in the NFL playoffs. Not many NFL quarterbacks have five road playoff wins. As in none, other than Peyton’s little brother.
Manning’s NFC Championship Game win at Green Bay raised his playoff road record to 5-1. That’s not counting the neutral-field Super Bowls. That’s road games. That’s games in unfriendly environs, which are incredibly hard to win.
Johnny Unitas, Kurt Warner, Doug Williams, Bobby Layne and Jeff Hostetler all were NFL champion quarterbacks. They combined for five road playoff wins. The same as Eli Manning all by his lonesome.
Steve Young, Y.A. Tittle and Norm Van Brocklin all are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Combined, they were 0-7 in playoff road games.
Peyton Manning and Joe Montana are on virtually everyone’s list of the top five quarterbacks in NFL history. They each went 2-5 in playoff road games.
Troy Aikman, Bob Griese, Jim Kelly, Warren Moon and Dan Marino are in the Hall of Fame, too. They reached a combined 11 Super Bowls, winning five. Their combined playoff road record: 5-19.
Eli Manning’s career playoff road record: 5-1.
