"Nabers, who was not with the Giants as he rehabs a torn ACL he suffered earlier this season, second-guessed some of the team's decisions in a since-deleted tweet. "Sometimes I think they b makin us lose on purpose," he wrote. "Cause it's no way, bro you throw the ball instead of running it to make em burn 2 timeouts?? then you dnt kick the field goal?? Then they have to go down and score!!! Football common sense!!!! Am I missing something?""
"Kafka, who has preached aggressiveness since taking over and called two trick plays that resulted in touchdowns in Sunday's loss, elected to go for the touchdown and the two-score lead with a tick under 3 minutes remaining. The Lions forced an incompletion and took over from their own 6 only needing a field goal to send the game to overtime. Jake Bates eventually hit a 59-yarder to even the score after the fourth-down fail."
Giants tied an NFL record with their fifth loss this season after leading by double digits, falling 34-27 in overtime to the Lions. Malik Nabers, rehabbing a torn ACL, questioned late-game decisions in a since-deleted tweet, criticizing throwing instead of running, not kicking a field goal, and clock management. Interim coach Mike Kafka called a run to the 2-yard line and then chose to go for a touchdown late, failing on fourth down. The Lions scored a 59-yard field goal to force overtime and won after extra play. Jameis Winston threw two touchdown passes and said the team was desperate for a victory.
