Eli Manning perfect in preseason action
By Joseph Czikk, Big Blue View
Eli Manning threw four completions on four attempts including an 8-yard touchdown strike Friday night against the Chicago Bears.
Manning’s scoring pass went to Bennie Fowler. The other three passes on the drive went to Cody Latimer (20 yards), Rhett Ellison (9 yards) and Golden Tate (5 yards).
“The offensive line did a great job allowing me to get through my progression and get to my second guy,” Manning said of the game-opening play. “It was a good way to start the game with an explosive play. We did a good job. We ran the ball well … We finally had a third down in the red zone. They came out with an all-out blitz, and we hit Cody (Latimer) with a little underneath route.
The drive finished with the touchdown throw over the middle to Fowler.
“It was a good way to finish that drive,” Manning said.
