Mike Cozzi at Large with Sports – Tuesday December 10, 2019

 For a half, Eli Manning looked to be heading to another storybook ending. Then reality set in for the New York Giants and their two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback who was back as the starter for the first time since Week 2.

Manning was starting in place of injured rookie Daniel Jones on Monday night. He threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half while the Giants built a 14-point halftime lead, before stalling badly in the second half of a 23-17 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
