Despite missing out on the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, Eli Manning continues to demonstrate why his football legacy is more iconic than people realize.

During Sunday's Super Bowl LIX pregame show on Fox, Eli and his brother Peyton competed in the FanDuel "Kick of Destiny 3."

The two faced off in a sudden-death field goal-kicking contest with the first to successfully convert a 25-yarder being declared the winner.

It took just two rounds to determine which Manning was superior, with Eli coming out on top by nailing his kick right down the middle after Peyton missed both of his attempts.

FanDuel had been promoting the contest in the weeks leading up to Super Bowl LIX, pitting the two brothers against one another based on a supposed desired destiny by Eli to become a kicker instead of a quarterback.

Eli is actually the first former player to successfully convert a field goal during the "Kick of Destiny" promotion. The two previous editions featured former tight end Rob Gronkowski missing both his highly-anticipated attempts.

This marks the second time in as many weeks Eli has topped Peyton in a competition. On Feb. 2 he led the NFC to a Pro Bowl Games championship over his brother, the third consecutive time he's done so since the NFL all-star game ended the traditional football game format.
