Victor Cruz went down with a devastating knee injury on Sunday Night Football and the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles came together for a great display of sportsmanship and class. 

On Sunday Night Football, New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz suffered a severe knee injury that will knock him out for the remainder of the regular reason, according to initial reports.

Immediately after Cruz went down with the knee injury and was seen screaming in pain, NBC reported Cruz had suffered an injury to his patellar tendon.

A very emotional Cruz was helped onto the cart and taken to a local hospital.
