- He disputes the broadcast’s reading of his reaction to a teammate’s touchdown.
- Nabers says he is open to a conversation with Greg Olsen.

## Summary

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has defended his intense on-field behaviour after Fox commentators Greg Olsen and Joe Davis drew attention to his body language during the team’s win over the Eagles. He said he would continue to express himself in his own way and objected to what he saw as an unfair suggestion about his character and commitment as a teammate.

Nabers said his helmet-slapping, shouting and lack of smiling reflect his competitive approach, not indifference or resentment. The broadcast had suggested he did not appear happy for Isaiah Likely after a go-ahead touchdown, though Olsen did not explicitly call Nabers a bad teammate. Nabers also pointed to the Giants’ slow start after their bye week and the year of rehabilitation following his torn ACL, and said he would be open to speaking with Olsen.
