If Eli Manning has learned anything from playing with the Giants, it is that a two-score lead in the final minutes is far from safe.
In a video posted on TMZSports.com, Eli tried to explain his blank look after the Broncos scored what turned out to be the touchdown that clinched Super Bowl 50: The Giants signal-caller said he was thinking hard about whether brother Peyton’s team should kick the extra point or go for two.

“I was just focused on whether they’d go for two and uh, the defense had to step up and make some stops,” Eli said to the cameraman.
Manning’s poker face went viral — he was seen in a luxury box with the stare of a man waiting for a bus as his brother’s team scored the touchdown that pretty much won the Super Bowl. When asked if he saw the memes and thought they were funny, he said: “Yeah. It’s all good stuff.”

PEYTON’S SUPER BOWL 50 PERFORMANCE AMONG WORST EVER
Eli’s mom, Olivia, and brother Cooper were celebrating the Broncos touchdown feverishly as it put Denver up 22-10. But Eli seemed to be lost in thought — turns out that’s the look of him doing simple math in his head.
The Broncos got the 2-point conversion when Peyton Manning hit Bennie Fowler with a pass to make it 24-10, which turned out to be the final score. Both brothers now own two Super Bowl rings.
Eli remained mum on his brother’s future. He responded to the question of if he thinks Peyton will retire with “I don’t know. Whatever he wants to do.”
