The Giants rookie pass catcher surpassed two former franchise talents in this key stat after the team’s loss to the Cowboys.
For all the grievances that New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers had with his team for not crafting up enough plays to get him the football, he certainly found his opportunities on Thursday night in Dallas and turned them into a new page within the NFL record books.
The outing marked Nabers’ highest receiving line since Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and gave him his second-best catch count in the same span, but there was more to the numbers than just the in-game work. He stands as the only player with over 500 yards receiving and three receiving touchdowns at the end of Week 13 and is quite literally carrying a unit that is bottom five in air yardage metrics.
He also holds eight games with double-digit targets and only one with less than 50 receiving yards to his name. It is very hard to say he hasn’t been involved in the Giants game plan on a broad basis, but it’s understandable to see why he has reacted the way he does when the ball isn’t coming in his direction.
The complete opposite side of the spectrum arose in the Giants’ previous three games before Dallas. The offense didn’t find Nabers largely till late in the matchups when the game was seemingly out of hand and he watched as the rest of his receiving teammates didn’t put much of a dent in the opposing defense either.
On the other side of the equation though, he needs to do a better job of securing the pigskins that will be sailed towards him in that time. Nabers has been dropping the ball with frequency in his last few starts, notching five in the last month and enough to be in the league’s
