ARLINGTON, Texas -- If New York Giants?receiver Victor Cruz had drawn up a storybook return, it mightve looked something like what unfolded in Sundays opener against the Dallas Cowboys.Cruz scored the winning touchdown for the Giants in a 20-19 victory over their NFC East rivals at AT&T Stadium. He renewed the tradition of dancing the salsa in the end zone after a score, and catching big passes from quarterback Eli Manning when the Giants needed them most.After 700 days, Cruz finally returned to a regular-season game after knee and calf injuries kept him out of the Giants previous 26 games. For it to end the way it did, it was almost surreal. Even Cruz couldnt believe it.No, to be honest with you, he said. But Im excited to have the opportunity, just excited the way my life is unfolding here. I dont even know what kind of ending its going to have.The Giants (1-0) won, Cruz scored in his return and, for one night at least, all was right in the Big Blue universe.Cruz finished with four catches for 34 yards and a touchdown in his return. Finally, the Giants got a real taste of what they may receive on the field from the former Pro Bowl receiver.I was excited for him. Not just for the touchdown, but just being out there today [and] catching some passes and being in the mix, doing his deal, Manning said. So thats good for us that he can come back and make plays. He has so much experience at finding windows, finding lanes and getting back to where hes comfortable catching balls and making guys miss. Thats big for this team. Im excited for him from the standpoint that its been a long time for him, almost 700 days since his last game. Thats pretty special for him to get the game-winning touchdown in this game. ... Hes looking good, looking like his old self, and thats big for us.Its also important for Cruz. Even though he claims to have never doubted the return would happen, he knows the opportunity is special. There arent many skill-position players who have missed almost two full seasons (especially after tearing their patellar tendon) and returned to any significant degree of success.Cruz, 29, not only made it back, but he managed to score a touchdown the Giants desperately needed to give them the lead with 6:13 remaining in the contest.Just to overcome so much, man, just to get to this momennt.ddddddddddddA lot of people go through injuries and dont get this moment. They dont get this opportunity to get back, to reclaim what they once were and what they once had, Cruz said. Just to get this moment again is one of the biggest things for me and one of the biggest obstacles for me to cross, and Im just excited to be here and flourish.The Giants are ecstatic to have him back, and it meant something to see one of their longest-tenured players with that trademark smile on his face.So awesome. He had a rough run the past two years. To see him come through like that at the end, the entire game, its a great feeling, said veteran long-snapper Zak DeOssie, a close friend of Cruzs. Id be happy for anyone, but for him to make that big-time play, its just awesome.Cruz told DeOssie the salsa dance he did in the end zone while wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. pretended to snap a picture was one of the best hell ever do. Cruz told him he put extra pizzazz into it.This came after Cruz found a hole in the Cowboys defense while Manning began to navigate the pocket. Cruz caught the 3-yard touchdown pass and went into full-out dance mode. It appeared so natural it was almost as if hed been practicing.Its in the blood, Cruz said. It doesnt go anywhere. Its like riding a bike.But there were points throughout the past two years (including this summer) when nobody knew if hed ever really have the opportunity to dance in an end zone in a real NFL game. Manning admitted Cruz had a setback in the spring and there was a groin injury that slowed him this summer.The Giants threw Cruz right back into the mix the week of the third preseason game with an eye on this Sept. 11 opener against the Cowboys.We built Victor up to a point where he felt he could play a full game for us, coach Ben McAdoo said. Im sure hes excited. Im excited for him.Cruz played almost every offensive snap for the Giants on Sunday. He caught all four passes thrown in his direction. He scored a touchdown. He danced the salsa. It was a successful return in almost every way imaginable, and it felt great, Cruz said. Even if he had to wait a year longer than he wanted, the return was even better than he imagined.
