@ NFLFootballInfo: With NYG win, Eli Manning becomes fastest QB to 20 wins in October. His 19-4 mark in Oct best among QBs in SB era
New York Giants quarterback ELI MANNING, who last week became only the second player in franchise history to pass for more than 20,000 yards (PHIL SIMMS), is 19-4 (.826) as a starter in October, the best record among quarterbacks who began their careers in the Super Bowl era (min. 20 starts).
When the Giants travel to Dallas for a key NFC East matchup on Monday Night Football, Manning will be making his 24th October start. With a victory, Manning would record his 20th win as a starter in the month and become the fastest quarterback to 20 wins in October since 1970.
