Eli wanting to talk more about his teammates than himself when he was awarded the MVP honor seems typical. I've seen him do it more than once. I've seen his brother do it numerous times in big games as well. This isn't something that just appears out of the blue. It's a quality that was instilled in them from a young age, along with things like please, thank you; exceptional work ethic, and a concern and respect for others.
My hat's off to the Manning family.
