Giants QB Manning will play against Saints in hometown

The New Orleans Saints’ Superdome is a familiar place to the New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, although this Sunday will be the first time he plays a game in the building. As the youngest son of Saints legend Archie Manning, Eli went to the Superdome almost every weekend the Saints were home. His returning to the Superdome just makes Sunday’s game even more attractive.




Eli appeared to be fine after playing less than a half in the Giants’ blowout win over the Oakland Raiders. But to be cautious, Coach Tom Coughlin only allowed the quarterback to take a limited number of snaps in Wednesday practice and said Manning will do a little more work in Thursday’s practice and step it up again on Friday.

It is expected that Eli’s family, including his father Archie, will be present to watch the matchup between two of the NFL’s five remaining unbeaten teams: 5-0 Giants V.S. 4-0 Saints. A good question is: will Archie wear Saints jersey to support his old team or Giants jersey to support his son's team?
