Giants' Nabers calls Fox analyst Olsen's body language critique a 'lie' - ESPN

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers said Tuesday he posted on social media after Sunday's game because he thought the critique from Fox play-by-play announcer Joe Davis and analyst Greg Olsen about his body language and the insinuation that he's a bad teammate was a «lie.»

Nabers was intent on speaking up for himself against some of the things said about him on the broadcast.

«The thing about it is, don't tell the world something that's not me,» Nabers said. «I'm speaking for myself all the time because there is nobody else that is going to be able to speak up for me. So I'm going to use my own voice and be able to speak up about me being a bad teammate.

»I feel like that was just a lie, attacking my character as a football player and as a teammate. Like I said, I've never been on a team where anyone has called me a bad teammate that I know of."

The Fox broadcast showed Nabers seemingly upset during the 19-11 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Nabers had five catches on eight targets for 43 yards in the win, the first time since Week 3 that he has been held to fewer than 100 yards. It was Nabers' first career victory in Philadelphia and New York's first since 2013.

With the Giants nursing a 13-8 lead and driving early in the fourth quarter, New York quarterback J.J. McCarthy threw behind Nabers for an incompletion, with replays later showing the receiver waving the air and Olsen telling viewers that was a sign that Nabers wanted the ball thrown more in front of him.

«His body language has been terrible today,» Davis said.

Olsen then quickly added: «It's just not good.»

There was more. The Fox crew spent several minutes throughout the broadcast talking about Nabers.
