NFL News: Giants’ Malik Nabers tears team amid loss to Lions

New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers lashed out at his team in a since-deleted social media post following their overtime loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Nabers appeared to challenge the team’s play call in the fourth quarter when the team elected to go for it on fourth down with three points. The Giants turned the ball over and the Lions drove down the field and tied the game on a 59-yard field goal by Jake Bates.

Nabers deleted the post, but not before media and NFL fans took a screenshot.

The drive in question saw the Giants run 14 plays for 86 yards without giving up any points. Jameis Winston’s pass to Theo Johnson in the end zone was incomplete.
