For some purpose that nobody has been in a position to clarify, the Giants failed to focus on star rookie wideout Malik Nabers within the first half of final week’s loss to Tampa Bay. Nabers ended the sport with a robust second half (six receptions, 64 yards) however was extraordinarily upset after the sport about each dropping and the way he was used.
The Giants are loopy to disregard Nabers. In actual fact, it’s teaching malpractice. With these six second-half receptions, Nabers turned the first participant in NFL historical past with not less than 5 receptions and 50 receiving yards in eight of his first 9 profession video games.
Nabers has 67 receptions on the season, surpassing the Rams’ Puka Nacua (64 receptions) for probably the most receptions by a participant in his first 9 video games in NFL historical past.
The Giants’ turnover differential on the season is -6, which isn’t horrible however it’s odd the way it’s performed out. They’ve eight fumble recoveries — fourth finest within the NFL — however only one interception. On Sunday, they tied the trendy NFL report (since 1933) for many consecutive video games in a single season with out a defensive interception: 10.
