New York Giants legend Eli Manning beat his brother, Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, in an extra point kicking contest to win the FanDuel Kick of Destiny 3.
Rob Gronkowski was on hand as a commentator after missing his field goal attempts in the first two Kick of Destiny contests.
The first attempt for the Mannings was a 25-yard kick through the uprights, which is shorter than a current-day extra point attempt of 33 yards. Peyton's attempt was wide left, while Eli's attempt was way short, barely traveling 15 yards.
The second time around, the ball was moved to the 10-yard line, making it a 20-yard kick, which is the equivalent of an NFL extra point attempt prior to 2015. Peyton's attempt was a "doink" as it bounced off the right upright. However, Eli's kick was right down the middle to win the contest.
Hundreds of fans lined up outside the makeshift field to witness the contest, and Eli and Peyton's brother Cooper Manning provided the commentary for the fans at home.
