Eli Manning, who is expected to announce his retirement after 16 seasons with the New York Giants, didn't have much good fortune against the Indianapolis Colts (0-4) or his brother, Peyton (0-3).

However, he helped pull off a Super Bowl upset at Lucas Oil Stadium, when the Giants beat the New England Patriots. 

This improbable 38-yard pass to Mario Manningham was critical, starting the winning drive. The Giants scored with 1:04 to go in a 21-17 victory. 

Here are Eli Manning's results in that Super Bowl, against Peyton Manning and the Colts.

Oddly, the Giants were 118-118 in regular-season games that he started.

Peyton Manning also won two Super Bowls, one each with the Colts and Broncos.
