I also threw out the 1996 UCLA game, where Manning was only 16 of 28 (57.1%) while throwing for 288 yards (10.2 YPA). It's not a strict YPA ranking the first game you'll see in our countdown is actually Manning's second best YPA ever, but that's due in part to only throwing it 22 times that day. Do you like strikeouts? Do you like touchdowns? In this case, I leaned heavily on our favorite stat of yards per attempt, going back through the box scores to pick out the best of Manning's best.
