The Patriots-Giants game yesterday afternoon was a cracking good game, with excellent defense and two late scoring drives. The game had a Super Bowl feel to it.

Victor Cruz was, of course,  in the middle of it. The Boston Globe said homecoming was happy for Cruz.  Fox News Latino says Cruz dances to a salsa beat. The NY Times said Cruz mixes cultures and TD's. The Boston Globe says he's on Cruz Control.

Cruz had a nice block on a Giants TD run and drew a critical pass interference penalty on the Giants winning drive.
