"Eli Manning has a chance to take a 2-1 lead in Super Bowl titles on big brother Peyton if the Giants beat the Patriots and prevent Tom Brady's party plans.

And with Peyton's NFL future uncertain as he waits for the nerves in his neck to regenerate, a 2-1 lead could be insurmountable. But it's when Peyton led Eli 1-0 following the Colts' victory over the Bears in the Super Bowl five years ago that little brother became obsessed with winning his own ring.

"Just seeing Peyton after that game, seeing him down in the locker room, seeing that smile on his face, being with him for those next couple of months after he won a Super Bowl, it definitely made you jealous," Manning said Monday shortly after the Giants arrived in big brother's NFL hometown. "You always want to win a championship, but when you see someone win it, the relief and smile painted on his face for months, it makes you want to win one even more. It truly gives you a burning desire to get one.""
