2011 Season week 17. 3rd and ten, a must win game against Dallas. We need a first down to put the game away or else Dallas gets another chance to win it.
Amazaing throw, and unreal body control from Victor. Link - ( New Window )
Eli was leveled as he threw it, and only the reaction from the crowd let him know what happened...he just hit him in stride with a perfect throw.... Link - ( New Window )
People forget how special of a player he is. I don't know if he will be the same player when he comes back next year, but the Giants need to do all that they can to keep Cruz and try to get the most out of him. He's worth taking a chance on.
2011 game in Dallas, 2nd to last drive. Rolling out of the pocket to his right, Eli fires the best "on the run" pass of his career right on the money to Nicks (might have been Cruz, there were 2 similar throws on this drive) to help us score fast and keep the season alive.
best receiver corps the Giants ever had. Weekly, you could debate who was the best with Cruz or Nicks. Either could dominate a defense and for the majority of the season, no one could take both away.
Eli recognized 1v1 coverage, executd a fast spin move, threw while drifting left, and kept Cruz between himself and the CB. And that ball was on a rope. Keep in mind that was a game winner in a playoff clinching game.
You can see that Eli recognizes two safety's over the top, so he keeps it to the left of the wr to take that safety out of the play. If he hits him in stride the safety on the other side may have been able to intersect the trajectory.
I still have no idea how Ahmad Bradshaw got downfield so fast to congratulate Cruz in the end zone. Look at where Bradshaw is at 0:35, he's blocking for Eli in the end zone and Cruz is ten yards downfield. Look at Bradshaw at 0:24 congratulating Cruz on the touchdown. Amazing. He makes his blocks and then hustles all the way downfield to get there seconds after Cruz did. Man, we had some warriors!

That one was more of Cruz after the catch. The other two were great throws
I dont know how q defender didnt at least get a hand on it let alone pick it off.

Cruz vs Eagles
This, given the importance
Probably the most underrated throw in nyg history.
Great play. That flummoxed Rex Ryan to no end.
