It was 2007. Bad Eli was getting lit up. 4 interceptions versus Minnesota. 20 interceptions that season. Yet Ronde Barber, who would face Manning in the Wild Card playoff round, gave his QB opponent a gift earlier in the week. “Sometimes he just throws some bad balls. I don’t know the reasons for that.
