Eli may have had a good defense (namely a great pass rush) to help out the offense those two SB runs, but it's not like he didn't make some clutch plays along the way. He got hot at the right time despite being a mediocre regular-season QB. That sideline throw to Cruz in the SB to essentially put the game away was just beautiful.
"some clutch plays along the way" is a great way of putting it.
The defense did much more than that. They performed much better at their job than Eli did at his job.
