As heavy underdogs heading into Super Bowl XLII against the undefeated New England Patriots and their vaunted offense, the New York Giants defense was tasked into slowing down Tom Brady, who had set a record for most touchdowns in a single season. For quarterback, Eli Manning, this was a chance to emerge from his brother Peyton Manning’s shadow and deliver a win for the ages.
Offered is the Official Wilson “The Duke” football presented to quarterback Eli Manning, whose last-minute drive, led the Giants to the historic and monumental upset of the Patriots. This football has one panel painted white with “GAME BALL PRESENTED TO ELI MANNING SUPER BOWL XLII MVP NEW YORK GIANTS 17 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 14 SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2008 UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX STADIUM GLENDALE, AZ”. The Giants team emblem adorns the left side and the Super Bowl XLII logo is on the right.
Please note that these are specialized presentation footballs and are not game used footballs.
