Manning is the only Giants player to win the Rozelle Trophy multiple times. Previous Giants Super Bowl MVPs include quarterback Phil Simms (Super Bowl XXI) and running back Ottis Anderson (Super Bowl XXV).

Manning is one of 32 different starting quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl and one of two Mannings. His brother Peyton won titles with the Colts in 2006 and the Broncos in 2015. The Mannings were the 18th set of brothers to play in the Super Bowl and the first pair of brothers to play quarterback.

Manning is one of 21 quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl without losing one and one of 12 quarterbacks to win at least two Super Bowls.

Manning, the first selection in the 2004 NFL Draft, is one of nine quarterbacks taken with the first overall selection in the NFL Draft to start a Super Bowl. The others are Terry Bradshaw (4-0 in Super Bowls), Jim Plunkett (2-0), John Elway (2-3), Troy Aikman (3-0), Drew Bledsoe (0-1), Peyton Manning (2-2), Cam Newton (0-1), and Jared Goff (0-1). The former No. 1 choices are 15-8 in Super Bowls.

Manning is one of six quarterbacks with at least 100 victories and two Super Bowl triumphs with the same team, joining Bradshaw, Tom Brady, Elway, Joe Montana, and Ben Roethlisberger.

Manning is the only quarterback to wear No. 10 and win a Super Bowl.
