Eli Manning's stone-faced reaction to the Denver Broncos' final touchdown in the Super Bowl - a play that essentially sealed the win for brother Peyton Manning - was the talk of the Internet after the game.

Was Eli mad that his older brother was about to match his mark of two Super Bowl titles? Was he bored by the game? Or was he simply being normal, awkward Eli?

TMZ caught up with Eli as he departed California and asked him about his lack of reaction.

"I was just focused on whether they would go for (a two-point convert) and knew the defense had to step up and make some stops," Eli explained.

Asked if he thought the memes created about his reaction were funny, Eli admitted they were "good stuff."
