Peyton Manning took the first shot at a 25-yard field goal, but his kick veered left, missing the mark entirely. Eli's subsequent attempt proved even more challenging, falling significantly short of the target.

Peyton's second try from 20 yards out also failed, hitting the right upright. With the pressure mounting, Eli stepped up for his 20-yard attempt, backed by a supportive crowd chanting his name. He successfully sent the ball sailing through the uprights, securing the win.
