Victor Cruz leaves with a concussion and a knee sprain

It has been a horror show for the Giants offense on Sunday and wide receiver Victor Cruz is one of those caught in the carnage.

Cruz fell on his head while trying to make a jumping third down catch in the third quarter and was helped off the field by trainers a short time later. Officials originally gave Cruz a catch, but replay showed he didn’t hold onto the ball. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise because there is no good news for the Giants on Sunday.

Cruz is done for the day with a concussion and a knee sprain, leaving the Giants with even less to throw at an overwhelming Seahawks defense. Eli Manning threw his fourth pick of the day to set up a Doug Baldwin touchdown that has the Seahawks up 23-0 in the fourth quarter.

The Giants have gained 81 yards on the day, which makes the only question left in New Jersey whether or not they’ll find a way onto the scoreboard at all.
