I will give him props for fighting though, he got out of a few sacks where he should have been eating dirt. Even though I thought he should have thrown the ball away instead of scramble, I'm not going to complain about that point too much.

In case you didn't notice, he was pressured on just about every play. Not even Tom Brady did well when there was someone in his face.
Eli performed very well, and even though he had some poor plays, he held it together long enough to have an 83 yard drive. Call it luck if you want, but an 83 yard drive is not luck. One or two plays were luck, the rest was skill. Eli came into his own this year.
