Eli Manning says his second Super Bowl title is 'a lot bigger' than family bragging rights

"Peyton Manning was so proud of his little brother, that he wanted to make sure Eli Manning got all the credit he deserved for the Giants' Super Bowl XLVI win.

Yes, Mario Manningham made a fantastic catch on the pivotal 38-yard play down the sideline that keyed the Giants' 21-17 win against the Patriots. But after the game, Peyton Manning was raving to his brother about the throw.

"He was mad, he said everybody was talking about how great of a catch it was," Eli Manning said this morning, as he accepted the MVP trophy. "He said it was a pretty good throw, also. It's a brother looking out for me. He was proud of me and happy for me."

Eli Manning has now won two Super Bowl rings, one more than Peyton Manning has earned with the Colts. But Eli Manning said that comparison was the furthest thing from his mind on this joyful day."
