QB Eli Manning to have longest active start streak

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The streak for the most consecutive starts among active quarterbacks is going to stay in possession of the Manning family.

With Peyton Manning’s streak of 227 consecutive starts — including the postseason — coming to an end because of a neck injury, the new leader in the category is little brother, Eli, of the New York Giants. He has started 110 consecutive games and he will go for No. 111 in the season opener in Washington on Sunday.

“I don’t know what my number is,” Eli said. “You try to be out there every week and perform and be on the field with your teammates. It’s not something that I’m keeping track of.”
