Last week against the Washington Commanders, Malik Nabers was spotted on the sideline, visibly frustrated as the New York Giants offense sputtered in a loss.
Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, Nabers was anything but frustrated.
Nabers caught seven passes on a team-high ten targets, but none of those receptions was bigger than what he did with less than a minute remaining.
After Dak Prescott connected with George Pickens on a short touchdown pass to give the Cowboys a 34-30 lead late, the Giants still had time to pull out a win. A long scramble from Russell Wilson got the Giants offense near midfield, setting up a 1st-and-10 situation from the Dallas 48-yard line.
That is when the veteran quarterback, and one of the better deep ball throwers in the game, did this:
Wilson launched a vertical throw towards Nabers, who somehow got behind the Dallas secondary and settled under the throw for a go-ahead touchdown with less than 25 seconds remaining.
Which was enough for Dallas.
Prescott drove Dallas into Giants’ territory, with the Cowboys running the ball when facing a 1st-and-10 situation at the New York 49-yard line. Facing 2nd-and-7 at the 46, Brian Schottenheimer was confident sending Brandon Aubrey on for a 64-yard field goal attempt.
Aubrey drilled it, forcing overtime from 64 yards out.
