Eli Manning reveals what daughter learned during Giants-Eagles playoff game

New York Giants legend Eli Manning has opened up about taking his daughter to Big Blue's playoff game at the Philadelphia Eagles on Jan. 21 which Philadelphia won 38-7. 

"To be able to go there with my 11-year-old daughter, she definitely learned a few new hand gestures, learned a few new vocabulary words that I said, 'Whatever you hear and see in Philly, it just stays in Philly. You can’t bring that back to school; don’t try that on your friends or your teachers. We don’t need you getting expelled any time soon,'" Manning hilariously told The Athletic's Dan Duggan for a piece published Monday. "But it was fun to be there and root them on. Unfortunately, the game didn’t go quite how I wanted it to." 

Eli and Ava Manning watched as the Giants found themselves trailing the division-rival Eagles 14-0 at the end of the first quarter and 28-0 at halftime. The two-time Super Bowl Most Valuable Player who featured only for New York from 2004 through the 2019 season joked ahead of what became a lopsided Philadelphia victory about the "amount of double birds" he'd encounter at Lincoln Financial Field that Saturday night, and it sounds like Eagles fans didn't let him down. 

Manning told Duggan that Ava "enjoyed" the overall experience despite the result and the "welcome" her famous father received in the "City of Brotherly Love" that evening.
