Eli Manning’s Emotional Reaction to Daniel Jones’ Pick-Six Goes Viral

During Monday night’s game between the Giants and Seahawks, quarterback Daniel Jones made a costly mistake in the third quarter, throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown, known as a pick-six. This moment left former Giants quarterback Eli Manning visibly upset on national TV, and the internet couldn’t get enough of it.

As the interception happened and the opposing team scored a touchdown by running the ball 97 yards, Eli Manning’s response was captured on camera. He repeatedly exclaimed, “Oh no. Oh no. Oh no,” clearly showing his disappointment and concern for his former team.

Even Eli’s brother, Peyton Manning, who was co-hosting on ESPN’s “Manningcast,” was left in shock. He raised his hands to his head in disbelief, mirroring the feelings of many Giants fans watching the game.

Eli Manning’s emotional reaction isn’t surprising, given his history with the Giants. Before the Week 4 matchup, he explained in an interview with The Spun that it’s challenging for him to stay neutral when covering Giants games for ESPN because of his deep-rooted support for the team. He said, “It’s definitely different because I’m rooting for a specific team during the game. I can’t hide that. I’m a Giants fan. I’m always rooting for the Giants, and I will be rooting for them in this game.”

He added, “I’m sure Peyton will root against the Giants just to spite me. I’m living the game more and rooting for guys like Daniel Jones, who has become a great friend of mine. When you know the players, the coaches, the owners, you’re going to show a bit more emotion.”

The Giants will have another chance to make an impact on October 15th when they face the Bills in a “Sunday Night Football” matchup. This game promises more opportunities for Eli Manning to express his passionate support for his beloved Giants.
