Short By Two Yards

Giants WR Victor Cruz had insult added to injury during last week's 23-0 loss to the Seahawks. Late in the 3rd quarter, Cruz left the game with what appeared to be a concussion and knee injury after leaping to catch a 16 yard pass.

Cruz struck is head on the ground and stayed down for a few minutes. Seattle coach Pete Carroll challenged the play on whether Cruz had secured the ball after hitting the ground. The original ruling of a completion was overturned.

This play impacted Cruz in many ways. His concussion would have kept him out on Sunday and maybe next week, but now he will need arthroscopic surgery on his knee. The incomplete pass took 16 yards from his season total, dropping it to 998.

It was mostly his last play of the season. It prevented him from being the fourth Giants player to have three consecutive seasons with 1,000 receiving yards.
