Giants star wideout blasts analyst for questioning sideline behavior during win against Eagles

The New York Giants receiver posted on social media after the Fox analyst questioned his behavior during the win

Win or lose, Malik Naberswill always make sure he gets the last word.

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. 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.

Fox analyst Greg Olsen spotted Nabers' bad body language on the sideline and called it out during the live broadcast.

"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."

After the win, Nabers went straight to Instagram postgame.

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! 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!"

In reality, Nabers had a dud and couldn't hide it. Against a shaky Eagles secondary, he finished with five catches for 43 yards and dropped a walk-in fourth-quarter touchdown from J.J. McCarthy.

Olsen didn't sugarcoat anything, and he didn't have to. Nabers has All-Pro ability, but the diva act and injury baggage are getting impossible to ignore.

Back in November 2024, Nabers openly slammed the offense after seeing zero targets until the game was out of reach. In Week 1 last season, he was back in Brian Daboll's ear on the sideline complaining about touches. Three weeks later, his sophomore year was over with a torn ACL and meniscus against the Chargers.

A dominant October buys goodwill, and 509 receiving yards through a quarterback carousel is legitimately impressive. But getting rattled by a television broadcast only proves the critique right.
