For some purpose that nobody has been capable of 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 powerful 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 reality, it’s teaching malpractice. With these six second-half receptions, Nabers grew to become the first participant in NFL historical past with at the very least 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 greatest within the NFL — however only one interception. On Sunday, they tied the trendy NFL document (since 1933) for many consecutive video games in a single season and not using a defensive interception: 10.
