Malik Nabers questions whether Giants "lose on purpose" with bad play calls

Malik Nabers questions whether Giants "lose on purpose" with bad play calls

Our Summary

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers implied that the team's coaching staff might be intentionally losing games following a loss to the Lions. Nabers, sidelined for the season with a torn ACL, expressed his frustration on social media after the Giants, leading 27-24, made questionable play calls late in the game and eventually lost 34-27 in overtime. The Giants had a chance to extend their lead with a field goal but opted for a failed fourth-down attempt. Interim head coach Mike Kafka's decisions, particularly during the goal-to-go sequence, faced criticism. Despite Nabers' suggestion, Kafka, who is vying for a permanent head coaching position, likely made strategic errors rather than deliberate attempts to lose. Nabers has since deleted his post.
