The rivalry of Eli Manning and Tom Brady was comparable to the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry in soccer. These two legends poured their blood, sweat, and tears into besting each other while curating a legacy of their own. Brady and Manning faced off seventeen times, with Brady emerging victorious in their head-to-head series 11-6.
