Eli Manning: (on his game winning touchdown pass against the Eagles) We knew they were coming with an all-out blitz. I knew exactly where I was going (with the ball)... I threw it up as high as I could. Either he’s going to catch it or no one is. It was a great play by Plaxico making that catch and getting in the end zone for the win.
