 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Eli Manning is giving his more accomplished older sibling a challenge for family bragging rights. The New York Giants' second-year quarterback had his second straight outstanding performance Sunday, throwing for 296 yards and a career-high four touchdowns in a 44-24 win over the St. Louis Rams.
That matched the day of older brother Peyton, who threw for four touchdown in Indianapolis' 31-10 win over Tennessee. Through the first four games of the season, the younger Manning has a 9-6 lead in touchdown passes over his brother, who has been to the Pro Bowl five times in eight seasons and is a two-time league MVP.
Manning was 19-for-35 and threw for two TDs to Plaxico Burress — who had a career-high 10 catches — and one each to Amani Toomer and Jeremy Shockey. Jay Feely added three field goals for New York (3-1), which entered the game having scored the most points in the NFL this season.
