Malik Nabers joked his former LSU teammate Jayden Daniels is blowing up his phone after the New York Giants’ 24-21 Thursday night loss to the Washington Commanders.
“It’s bugging me pretty bad,” Nabers said Friday about losing to Daniels and the Commanders (h/t SNY). “And he’s bugging me all the time.
“He’s probably trying to call me right now, but I can’t answer that phone call.”
Nabers still has yet to claim an NFL win over Daniels, who improved Thursday night to 4-0-1 in five career matchups against the Giants.
Daniels started out the matchup by throwing his first two interceptions of the season, but rallied down the stretch to put the Commanders ahead with less than a minute left in regulation.
Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy attempted to answer by finding Nabers on a Hail Mary only to instead throw a game-ending interception to Rasul Douglas.
Nabers and Daniels were teammates at LSU from 2022 to 2023. The pair became NFC East rivals after they were each selected in the first round of the 2024 draft.
Thursday night’s loss to Daniels’ team might particularly sting for Nabers given that it helped keep the Commanders’ playoff hopes alive.
The Giants (5-3-1) still lead the division with the Dallas Cowboys (4-5) in second place, but the Commanders (3-5-1) are within two games of the Giants with a head-to-head tiebreaker in hand.
