Eli Manning received a standing ovation from New York Giants fans in what could be his final home start at MetLife Stadium for the organization he's led to two Super Bowl championships.
Manning helped the Giants to a win over the Miami Dolphins, 36-20. Manning was 20-for-28 with two touchdown passes and three interceptions.
He was removed from the game in the fourth quarter and New York let the MetLife Stadium crowd rain down praise on the quarterback.
