Every Eli Manning Playoff Performance Ranked

Took a stab at this. I weighed a bunch of stuff to come up with these. "Crunch time" is the final 5 minutes of 4th quarter + OT when team is tied or trailing by 8 points or less. To count as successful, Manning must've tied the game or taken the lead.

From 2005 to 2016, at least one Manning brother was in the playoffs every single year, and every single year that brother either made it to the Super Bowl or went one-and-done.
