The New York Giants made headlines on Sunday by securing their first win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia since 2013. However, during the divisional matchup, Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers became the subject of a debate following comments from FOX color analyst Greg Olsen. Nabers has now pushed back against Olsen’s criticism.
During the FOX broadcast, Olsen questioned Nabers’ body language, saying that his visible frustration was approaching a point where it could make him appear unsupportive of his teammates. However, Nabers strongly disagreed with that assessment.
The star wide receiver took to Instagram after the win and accused the broadcast of trying to create a negative narrative about his personality.

“Y’all be trying create a narrative on me soo bad it’s actually crazy!!” Nabers wrote. “If you don’t like the way I play the game keep the camera off me!! SIMPLE!”
“But ( Greg Olsen ) callin’ 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 added. “My face the same way if I’m havin’ a good game, bad, winning or losing,” Nabers wrote. “If it’s a problem, 1. Keep the camera off me. 2. Pray bout it! Simple.”
While the disagreement with Olsen became a major talking point following the game, Nabers also experienced a relatively quiet afternoon by his usual standards.
The Giants receiver entered the game recording more than 100 receiving yards in four consecutive games. However, Philadelphia’s defense managed to contain his impact throughout Sunday’s matchup. Nabers finished the game with five receptions on eight targets for 43 receiving yards.
Despite the receiver’s limited production, New York ultimately held on for a 19-11 victory over Philadelphia. The result improved the Giants’ record to 5-2-1 and helped them maintain their position atop the NFC East standings.
