Malik Nabers’ Latest Move After Giants Loss to Chiefs Turns Heads

The New York Giants gave fans reason to be excited in Week 2, even though they suffered a 40-37 overtime defeat at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys when all was said and done. In Week 3, that excitement disappeared pretty quickly, as the Giants were handed an ugly 22-9 defeat by the Kansas City Chiefs, and along the way, it became pretty clear that star wide receiver Malik Nabers was frustrated with his team’s performance.

One week after he caught nine passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns, Nabers was held to just two receptions for 13 yards against the Chiefs. This isn’t the first time Nabers has been seen visibly upset during a loss with New York, and after the game, it led him to have a conversation with a pair of former Giants players, Odell Beckham Jr. and Antonio Pierce.

Selected with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Nabers immediately put together a Pro Bowl campaign last year, catching 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns, despite New York having an array of quarterback problems. The Giants attempted to remedy that issue by signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency, while also selecting Jaxson Dart in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Wilson torched the Cowboys in Week 2, but the passing game has struggled to get anything going in its other two losses. Unsurprisingly, that has frustrated Nabers, who endured the worst game of his young career in New York’s loss to Kansas City on Sunday night. Considering how the new season is only three games old, it’s quite concerning to see frustrations from Nabers already boiling over.

Two guys who know what Nabers is going through are Beckham and Pierce, as both guys made a name for themselves as players in the NFL with the Giants. After the game, this duo was spotted having a conversation with Nabers, offering him advice as he navigates the early struggles that New York is facing in the 2025 campaign.

“Former Giants greats Odell Beckham Jr. and Antonio Pierce speaking with Malik Nabers postgame outside the Giants locker room. Looked like a very interesting conversation,” NFL insider Josina Anderson shared in a post on X. “Both former Giants were offering Malik Nabers understanding and big brother love having navigated their own paths in the NFL after the game.”

On a team with very few offensive playmakers, it’s clear that Nabers is the best of the bunch for New York. If an opposing team locks in on him and diverts the majority of their attention to him in the passing game, though, he can be wiped out of the game like he was on Sunday night. It doesn’t help that Wilson remains an increasingly inconsistent option under center, but the Giants don’t seem interested in throwing Dart into the fire just yet.

All Nabers and the rest of his teammates in New York can do is work on getting better, and it starts with devising a stronger game plan for Week 4 that will help him get more involved early on. Things won’t get much easier for the Giants, though, as they will draw a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers next week. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, and it will be vital for New York to get Nabers involved in this game if it wants a shot at winning.

J.K. Dobbins SENDS BOLD MESSAGE to NFL After Broncos’ Heartbreaking Loss to Chargers: “We’re Not Going Down Without a Fight”

In the wake of a gut-wrenching last-minute loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, rising star J.K. Dobbins made it clear that the Denver Broncos are far from out of the fight. Despite the crushing defeat, Dobbins sent a defiant message to the NFL, vowing that the Broncos will not give up and will continue to push for greatness.

“This loss stings, but we’re not backing down,” Dobbins said, his determination evident in his voice. “We’ve got unfinished business, and we’ll be back stronger. Every setback is just another opportunity to prove who we really are, and we’re going to keep fighting for this team, this city, and our fans.”

Dobbins, who has quickly become a key player for the Broncos, acknowledged the pain of the loss but emphasized that it’s just one chapter in the team’s larger journey. With the Broncos still in playoff contention, Dobbins’ words served as a reminder that the road to success is never without its obstacles.

“We know we’ve got what it takes, and we’re going to learn from this. We’re going to come out and keep battling. We’re not done yet,” Dobbins continued. “This team has too much heart, and we’ve got a lot to prove. The Chargers got us today, but don’t think for a second we’re out of this.”

As the Broncos regroup and look ahead, Dobbins’ fierce resolve will undoubtedly inspire the team to dig deep and fight for every win in the weeks to come.
