Eli Manning has had one of the most remarkable NFL careers for a quarterback. The former New York Giants legend is unlikely to get into the Hall-of-Fame considering his 118-118 career record, but he can still go to bed at night knowing full well he has done what many greats in Canton, Ohio have failed to do. That is, have an undefeated record against Bill Belichick and Tom Brady in the Super Bowl.
Eli Manning is never going to let those wins go, and he surely is not allowing Bill Belichick or Tom Brady to forget about them! On the Monday night episode of Manningcast, Peyton and Eli hosted Bill Belichick and unsurprisingly, during a timeout, he casually brought up another Super Bowl loss that haunts the legendary coach to this day. Super Bowl LII.
Eli claimed he had no interest in bringing up this game, but it was Peyton that made him do it. but he was clearly being sarcastic.
Coach, I gotta ask you about Super Bowl LII. Y'all went against the Eagles. Did not go well for you that game, I know. I didn't want to ask you. Peyton made me do this.Eli Manning said
The 2017 Super Bowl matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Patriots did not end well as Nick Foles, who was having an MVP season, went on to spearhead the team’s offense and ultimately bring a championship to the city of brotherly love.

Eli Manning wanted to know if the coach continued to take his anger out on Nick Foles in the form of shooting darts at pictures of him.
Yea, I got three dart boards, two of you and one of Foles!"Bill Belichick quickly replied
The former head coach of the Patriots could not help but laugh at this question. After all, the man responsible for two of his three Super Bowl losses was asking him this question.
Tom Brady and Bill Belichick established a dynasty in New England, but despite the six Super Bowl wins together and countless other records broken, they were never able to beat Eli Manning and the Giants in the Super Bowl. A key part of the younger Manning brother’s legacy will be his dominance over Brady on the biggest stage in football.
