The New York Giants announced Tuesday that the team would bench star quarterback Eli Manning. Coach Ben McAdoo said backup quarterback Geno Smith would start in place of Manning as the team tries to revive a losing season. Manning has started in 210 consecutive regular-season games, a streak that’s second only to former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre. “Coach McAdoo told me I could continue to start while Geno and Davis are given an opportunity to play,” Manning said in the team’s blog. I will help Geno and Davis prepare to play as well as they possibly can.”The 36-year-old was visibly emotional speaking to reporters on Tuesday.
