Nine receptions for 157 yards. One of his TD's was for 72 yards. Way to go. About 4 minutes left in the game.

And no celebration after either TD because he realized his team is down big. After some of the displays this weekend, it's good to see Vic knows what's goin on.

Right now Cruz is 4th in receiving yards and 8th in tds. He also played very little in their first couple games of the season. Imagine if he got minutes that hes getting now, back then. He could be number 1 easy. He is only 186 yards behind welker, and taking away the first two games where he hardly saw the field, he is avg 95.7 yards per game.(meaning he would be ahead of Welker on avg and yards.) If Cruz doesnt make the pro bowl it will be a shame.

It's great to see him doing so well. If only the Football Giants were winning games...a porous defense and the lack of a running game due to injuries is killing 'em.

From ESPN on Sunday's Game against the Packers: The game between the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers will feature two of the best quarterback/receiver combinations on deep passes in the league. Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is 8-for-11 this year when targeting receiver Jordy Nelson 21 or more yards down the field, according to Stats & Info. That's the highest percentage (72.7) in the league for a quarterback/receiver combo with at least 10 such attempts. The Giants' Eli Manning and Victor Cruz rank third on the same list, as Manning is 9-for-14 (64.3 percent) with four touchdowns when targeting Cruz at least 21 yards downfield.

Does anyone know of a way to get a replica Victor Cruz #3 UMass jersey (kind of like they used to have for Camby)? The athletic dept should be trying to hawk these things like crazy. Would love to get one for X-Mas.

Can I ask.....is there ANY way that Cruz is not playing in Hawaii after the season??? He's tied 4th in yards and something like tied 8th in TDs. That's pretty sweet right there. Not bad for an undrafted kid!!!

Fitz, Megatron, Roddy White, Jordy Nelson, Dez B.

I think Cruz deserves to go, but wouldn't be shocked if bigger names prevail. It is an all-star game, after all.

I have Victor on one of my fantasy teams and am playing in a regular season finally tomorrow that is essentially a playoff game. I'm counting on him big time, especially after last week.

7 receptions for 119 yards. Giants still lose but, what a wonderful year Cruz is having.

Players on teams that are playing in the Super Bowl won't play in the Pro Bowl the week before.

Nice mention for Victor in Peter King's weekly MMQB column.......

m. Victor Cruz entered the league as a free agent from that football hotbed, UMass. He's now a legitimate No. 1 receiver for a playoff contender, albeit one that's lost four in a row.

I hope Peter is not being sarcastic with that comment
