Eli Manning will complete under 50 percent of his passes
Eli Manning may be 34 years old, but don’t let that fool you, he has a lot of good football left. Manning has been reborn under the quick passing system of offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo. When McAdoo arrived, Eli’s completion percentage rose from 57 percent to 63 percent, and his interceptions were cut nearly in half, from 27 to 14. He already has 23 touchdown passes in 2015 to go along with completing 63 percent of his passes.
But, he did not look good last week, completing barely 50 percent of his passes, and throwing three interceptions. He has never looked good against the New York Jets, completing well under 50 percent of his passes in two previous meetings. The schemes that will give Odell Beckham Jr. a tough time will also give Manning a tough time.
