Giants legend Eli Manning bests Peyton to win ‘Kick of Destiny’​on February 9, 2025 at 8:30 pm

Retired New York Giants quarterback and future Hall of Famer, Eli Manning, didn’t leave the football world after retirement. Neither did his brother, Peyton.

For the last three years, the brothers have hosted “ManningCast” every Monday night during Monday Night Football, but that’s not the only venture the brothers are part of.

For the third time, FanDuel ran the Kick of Destiny challenge on Sunday, dubbed Kick of Destiny 3.

What started as a Super Bowl commercial featuring Rob Gronkowski attempting a 25-yard field goal is being morphed into something else. This year, the Manning brothers took it to a new level and made it a competition.

In the 3:00 p.m. ET hour of the pregame show, Eli and Peyton squared off. Eli won the toss and chose for Peyton to kick first.

In Round 1, they kicked from 25 yards out and both brothers missed — Eli completely whiffed.

In the second round, they moved the spot to a 20-yard field goal attempt. Peyton went first again and his attempt looked like it might sneak in before hitting the upright and bouncing back.

Then it was Eli’s turn. He set the ball, took his steps back, hyped up the crowd, and lined up the kick… It was good!

Eli Manning bested Peyton again. He’s now 3-0 in the Pro Bowl and 1-0 in the Kick of Destiny.

After winning, Manning said it was “well worth it,” referring to some soreness he experienced in practice.

The younger brother outdid the older brother and will have bragging rights for however long he likes.
