With a Breakout Game From Wilson, Giants Topple Saints 27~ 52
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — David Wilson’s trademark is the back flip and once, on a particularly energetic day in college, the Giants’ backup running back performed 21 back flips in a row in a YouTube classic. So far this year, it only feels as if the Giants’ season has had that many.
On Sunday, Wilson’s three touchdowns — and subsequent heels-over-head spectaculars — guided the Giants to a 52-27 victory over the New Orleans Saints, an explosive win which, in the spirit of up-and-down acrobatics, came one game after a dispiriting loss to Washington. (Which came one game after a blowout win over Green Bay. Which came one game after an atrocious showing against Cincinnati.)

Giants’ Victor Cruz Inspires Teachers, Students At Former Paterson School
Victor Cruz’s magical season now moves on to Indianapolis, but long before the wideout’s stardom, he was a hometown hero in Paterson, New Jersey.
Cruz’s teachers from the elementary school he attended are beaming with pride. Banners and Giants memorabilia can be seen all over P.S. 21. Cruz’s teachers say he was driven, tenacious and an excellent student.
“His smile just lit up the whole building. Victor was always a happy-go-lucky kid,” teacher Rhonda Tombiling-Bowden told CBS 2′s Christine Sloan.
To appreciate Cruz’s remarkable success, one must understand where he came from. He grew up on a street and in a city plagued by crime.
Cruz has also become an inspiration to all of the students who struggled to beat the odds in Paterson. Chris Diaz is an 8th grader at P.S. 21, where Cruz was a student for three years. Watching the Giants’ star makes him feel he’s got a chance.
“I really look up to Victor Cruz,” Diaz said. “We have a lot of things common and like he grew up just like me in Paterson.”
Teachers at his old school attribute Cruz’s success to his parents, who they say inspired him to be the best.
“It brings tears to my eyes to see him on TV and see the great success that he has had,” Janet Ludwig, Cruz’ 6th grade teacher, said.
