That's an awesome moment for Manning, who has spent his entire 16-year career with the Giants. It got even better as he got a standing ovation from the remaining fans when he jogged off the field.

On Sunday, he didn't have his best game, but was still able to lead his team to a win. He finished the afternoon completing 20-of-28 passes for 283 yards, with two touchdowns and three interceptions. Few will remember those numbers, but many will remember the way he left the field and the ovation he got.
This final moment as he left the field after the game was pretty great as well:
What it's all about.
