Amid the postgame bedlam near the Giants’ team bus, Peyton’s smile was nearly as wide as Eli’s. The elder Manning, whose neck injury kept him sidelined the entire season and has put his status with the Indianapolis Colts into question, did not tell his younger brother that he was planning to attend Sunday’s game. He did not ask Eli for tickets and did not alert him to his presence until greeting him with a celebratory hug. “I told him I loved him,” Peyton said. “I told him I was proud of him.”
