Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers took to social media on Sunday night to express his displeasure with how he was portrayed during the Fox broadcast of his team's 19-11 win over the Eagles.
In a post to his Instagram story that was later taken down, Nabers took particular issue with Greg Olsen's characterization of him. After quarterback J.J. McCarthy threw a pass behind Nabers in the fourth quarter, Fox showed Nabers gesturing with his hands and Olsen said he was letting the quarterback know to put the ball in front of him. Play-by-play announcer Joe Davis said Nabers's "body language has been terrible" throughout the game with Olsen agreeing that it wasn't good.
The broadcast also showed Nabers slamming his helmet on the sideline at one point and sideline reporter Pam Oliver discussed Nabers's desire to have the ball come his way. Olsen went on to say that there is "a fine line between being demanding" and being worried about your own touches that it detracts from the success of others. Nabers responded to what he believes was an implication that he's a bad teammate.
"Y'all be trying [to] create a narrative on me soo bad, it's actually crazy!! If you [don't] like the way I play the game, keep the camera off me!! SIMPLE! But [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! My face the same way if I'm havin a good game, bad, winning or losing," Nabers wrote. "If it's a problem. 1. Keep the camera off of me. 2. Pray bout it! Simple."
Nabers finished the game with five catches for 43 yards, which snapped a four-game streak with at least 111 receiving yards. He said in his postgame media session that he was frustrated with how the offense played at points in Philadelphia, but his frustration with Olsen and Davis might have been even greater.
