New York Giants vs. Commanders Player of the Game: Malik Nabers

The New York Giants were defeated, 21-18, by the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium on Sunday and Malik Nabers is our Player of the Game.

The Giants fall to 0-2 in a hard-fought loss to the division rivals. New York felt the effects of the injury to Graham Gano badly as they were unable to convert any of their two-point conversions. With this loss, the Giants are now last in the NFC East and they will need a big bounce back in Cleveland next week to have any playoff hopes.

On a positive note, their first-round pick in 2024 looked good yet again. For the second straight game, Malik Nabers is the Player of the Game.

There were some rookie struggles as Nabers had two drops on the day, one of them being a game-losing drop coming on the last drive in the fourth quarter. However, outside of that, he looked nothing but exceptional.

The LSU product finished with 10 catches for 127 yards and a touchdown. He showcased all the reasons why he was the sixth overall pick as he was exceptional after the catch.

Nabers is currently making a great case for Rookie of the Year and will look to build on this as he continues to build his connection with Daniel Jones.
