VICTOR CRUZ — After missing all of last season and much of 2014 with injuries, Cruz returned to the New York Giants lineup and caught four passes for 34 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown pass with 6 minutes left that proved to be the game winner in the Giants’ 20-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
He tweeted after the game: “Man it feels good to be back. God is the greatest.”
