It’s over.

Mercifully, the Eli Manning era has come to an end in New York  New Jersey:

It had to happen.

Unfortunately, the Eagles won’t get to face Eli twice this year, barring an injury to Jones. The Birds are 16-4 against Manning over the last 20 meetings, which equates to a win percentage of 80. Jones looked pretty smooth in preseason action, so we’ll see what he’s got in week three, when the G-Men travel to Tampa Bay for a matchup with the 1-1 Bucs before returning home to host the 0-2 Redskins. Golden Tate comes off suspension in week five, so Jones will have a bit more to work with sooner rather than later.

RIP to the Eli Manning era. What an era it was.
