Eli Manning threw three inceptions and was sacked three times Sunday. His Giants also lost, 20-14, to the Redskins, to drop out of first place in the NFC East.
If that wasn't enough, Manning garnered a new nickname: "Penguin Boy."

Omg. Omg. OMG. I will find a way to work Penguin Boy in reference to Eli Manning into a column before season's end. pic.twitter.com/Mnfvh3MfUC

Manning has waddled his way to two Super Bowl MVP awards, but this Sunday against the Redskins, he struggled until a fourth-quarter push that came too late.
The fun twist on Manning's name reminds of the last time this happened, when Sauce Castillo was born.
We can only hope Penguin Boy sticks.
