After Eagles win, Malik Nabers blasts Greg Olsen over body language criticism

A quiet day in the win

Nabers recorded five receptions for 43 yards on eight targets as the Giants beat the Eagles 19–11 on the road. The receiver appeared frustrated at points, prompting discussion from the Fox broadcast team.

Davis said Nabers’s body language had been poor, and later criticized his reaction after a teammate scored the go-ahead touchdown. Olsen noted that viewers could not know exactly what Nabers was thinking from his expressions.

Olsen discusses expectations

Olsen recalled that Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy had described Nabers as vocal and said the two had a good understanding. Olsen also said top receivers commonly want the ball, while cautioning that competitiveness should not seem to diminish teammates’ achievements.

After Nabers failed to catch a pass in the end zone, Olsen said a premier receiver needed to make that play. The attempted catch came shortly after the discussion about Nabers’s reactions.

Nabers responds after game

Speaking to reporters, Nabers said the Giants’ offense had started too slowly and needed to play with more urgency in a division game. He described the first half as not reflecting the offense’s usual performance.

Later, Nabers challenged the broadcast’s portrayal of him in a social media post tagging Olsen. Nabers said teammates had not called him a bad teammate and argued that his facial expression remained the same whether he was winning or losing, or playing well or poorly.

Broadcast roles differ

The account says Davis appeared more critical of Nabers’s body language during the broadcast than Olsen did. Olsen’s remarks included both a defense of Nabers and a warning about how frustration might come across. Nabers’s public response focused on what he viewed as an unfair narrative about his demeanor and character.
