Giants star wideout blasts analyst for questioning sideline behavior during win against Eagles
But as New York closed in on a rare division road win, Nabers — the Giants' star wideout — spent parts of the game pacing away from the huddle, shaking his head in plain view of the cameras.
- The New York Giants snapped a 13-game skid in Philly on Sunday, grinding through a 19-11 clunker featuring backup versus backup-backup quarterbacks.
- Against a shaky Eagles secondary, he finished with five catches for 43 yards and dropped a walk-in fourth-quarter touchdown from J.J.
- "It's not good," he said, "there's a fine line between being demanding and chasing greatness and then being a bad teammate … like if your teammate scores a touchdown for the lead and you're still worried about your touches." THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE.
Fox analyst Greg Olsen spotted Nabers' bad body language on the sideline and called it out during the live broadcast.

- In Week 1 last season, he was back in Brian Daboll's ear on the sideline complaining about touches.
- He said, in part: "[Olsen] calling me a bad teammate when every team I've been on, there's NOBODY I've played with has said dat bout me is crazy!
- Win or lose, Malik Nabers will always make sure he gets the last word.
- After the win, Nabers went straight to Instagram postgame.
- A dominant October buys goodwill, and 509 receiving yards through a quarterback carousel is legitimately impressive.
