"EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers had a conversation with coach Brian Daboll about his sideline demeanor after the two were caught on camera with an animated exchange during Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Washington Commanders. Both Nabers and Daboll said afterwards it was the result of two competitors trying to win. Nabers thought the energy wasn't right and the Giants were lacking. Daboll said he was trying to get him the ball."
"'Just 12 targets and five catches. Not how I want to end the day off,' Nabers said on Wednesday. 'I know everybody was more focused overall on me getting mad I wasn't getting the ball. It wasn't at all what I was concerned about. I had 12 targets. Why would I argue about getting the ball if I had 12 targets?'"
