Giants QB Eli Manning Says He Doesn't Have A 'Tired Arm'

Eli Manning and the Giants offense have been in a lull the past few weeks. In today's 31-13 loss to the Bengals, Manning did not throw a touchdown pass for the third straight week -- just the second time that's happened in his career, the other when he was a rookie. NFL Films' Greg Cosell and ESPN's Ron Jaworski floated this possible explanation for the recent slump: Manning has a tired arm, evidenced by the fact that he has missed throws he normally makes. Manning said today that is not the case. "I don’t think so," he said. "I feel like I’m making the throws, and I don’t feel like it’s tired." He continued later: "If my arm were tired, I would tell the coaches, and we would shut down some throws or throw a little bit less. I don’t feel like we’re overthrowing, I feel like when I’m making throws, the ball is coming out well, so I don’t see anything into it." Source: Newark Star Ledger Attached Thumbnails
