Four years ago, Victor Cruz caught a short pass, took it 99 yards and changed the course of two franchises. The epic play propelled the New York Giants to a Super Bowl, and it sent the New York Jets into a three-year funk. Some might argue they still haven't emerged from it.
Antonio Cromartie could have stopped Cruz, but he whiffed on the tackle.
"Believe me," the Jets' cornerback said Monday, "that's something I've never lost sleep over."
Oh, really? Plenty have, including fans, teammates and coaches.
On Sunday, the Jets and Giants meet in the regular season for the first time since that fateful day.
