The Giants notched a 19-11 victory over the Eagles on Sunday, but all anyone’s really talking about is star WR Malik Nabers absolutely ripping into Fox broadcaster Greg Olsen after the game. It was a tough win in Philadelphia, and it seems like the post-game drama is even bigger than the game itself.
The Game, The Frustration, And Olsen’s Comments
Let’s be real, the Giants’ offense wasn’t exactly firing on all cylinders against the Eagles. Their running game struggled, and the passing game took a hit when J.J. McCarthy had to miss part of the game due to a hip injury. You could feel the frustration building, and star wideout Malik Nabers apparently let his emotions show. That’s when Greg Olsen, calling the game for Fox alongside Joe Davis, decided to highlight Nabers’ demeanor and body language. After being named NFC Offensive Player of the Month in October, Nabers had a quieter day on Sunday, pulling in five catches for 43 yards. Olsen called him out on live TV, and Nabers did not appreciate it.
Nabers Fires Back: “Keep The Camera Off Me!”
Nabers wasn’t about to let Olsen’s comments slide. He went straight to Instagram after the win, making it crystal clear that he sharply disagrees with the assessment. This wasn’t some subtle jab, either. Nabers went hard, saying, “[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!” He didn’t stop there, adding, “Yall be trying to create a narrative on me soo bad it’s actually crazy!!” And if you’re wondering how he feels about the broadcast spotlight, he made that plain too: “f you [don’t] like the way I play the game keep the camera off me!!” Nabers even insisted that his face looks “the same way” whether the Giants are winning or losing.
With 648 yards on the season and the Giants sitting on top of the NFC East, you can bet the cameras will keep finding Malik Nabers. Despite his demand, this kind of drama only makes him a bigger magnet for attention. It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out moving forward.
