'Don’t miss' - Former New York Giants QB Eli Manning gets kicking advice from NJ/NY Gotham FC stars before battling brother Peyton

Two-time Super Bowl champion and NJ/NY Gotham FC co-owner Eli Manning looked for advice from NJ/NY Gotham FC players ahead of his Kick of Destiny challenge. The 44-year-old was up against his older brother and rival, Peyton, and thus wanted to get as much of an advantage as he could get.

The likes of Midge Purce and company had some good advice for the former professional quarterback and things did work out as the younger Manning walked away with the trophy.

This was the third edition of the Kick of Destiny and in a hard fought contest, Eli Manning beat his older brother Peyton Manning. While both brothers missed their attempt from 25 yards, the younger Manning managed to win it on his 20-yard attempt after his older brother hit the bar.

The brothers replaced former tight-end Rob Gronkowski in the campaign, who failed to hit a field goal in either 2023 or 2024.

The NWSL side are currently enjoying their preseason training as the 2025 NWSL season doesn’t kick off until March 16. The club has already played one preseason friendly, against SK Brann Kvinner, beating the Norwegian side 2-1 in February.

They start their 2025 NWSL season with a road trip against Seattle Reign FC before a home game against Orlando Pride.
