It would be premature to say Manning has definitively turned the corner after his outstanding game in Philadelphia - since consistency over several games is what he still needs to establish. But for that one game, Mannning has to be credited with putting up one of the better quarterback performances in recent memory. Consider the following:

• He threw for 371 yards and three touchdowns on 43 attempts (8.6 YPA) and completed more than 70 percent of his passes. (Very good, but not unusual).
• He threw just one interception, and that was on a good pass to Tiki Barber which was deflected. (The pick was not his fault).
• He put up these numbers despite being sacked 8 times and hit and hurried several others. (Would love to know of a quarterback who put up better numbers on the road having been sacked eight times).
• He put up these numbers while the Giants normally efficient running game averaged only 3.3 yards per carry.
• He did this on the road in one of the most hostile environments in the NFL, facing a good defense and perhaps the league's best defensive coordinator.

Manning's shown flashes before only to revert to bad decisions and inaccurate throws, but on Sunday, he played like a quarterback who will win some big playoff games in his career.
