Over the past two weeks, Manning has been asked to be the starting quarterback due to Daniel Jones nursing an ankle injury. There's a chance that Jones can return for the Giants in Week 16, meaning that Manning would head back to the bench.
On Sunday, Manning was able to complete 20 of his 28 attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. Despite the interceptions, the veteran quarterback made enough plays to give the Giants the win.
With the win, Manning improves his career record to 117-117. It would fit for Manning to finish his career with a .500 record as he contemplates his future after the 2019 season.

Throughout his career, Manning has totaled 57,023 yards, 366 touchdowns, and 244 interceptions. Above all, the former No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft delivered the city of New York two Super Bowls.
Both of the Super Bowls came against the New England Patriots. Therefore, Manning is responsible for two of the three Super Bowl losses by the Patriots in the Bill Belichick era.
Without a doubt, Manning has a solid case to be awarded a gold jacket and a bust in Canton as a Hall-of-Famer after he chooses to retire.
