POLL: Who Will Throw For More Yards?
Both Tom Brady and Eli Manning have clutch performances in their past.
Without question, the two biggest stars in Super Bowl XLVI will be the quarterbacks, both of whom are past Super Bowl MVPs: Tom Brady of the New England Patriots and Eli Manning of the New York Giants.
As Patriots fans are painfully aware, this isn't the first time Brady and Manning have faced off in a Super Bowl. Four years ago the Giants ended the Patriots' perfect season with an improbable 17-14 win in Super Bowl XLII.
Brady has a history of out-passing Manning in their match-ups, yet Manning has a history of winning in spite of inferior statistics.
