Malik Nabers calls out Fox analyst Greg Olsen over critical in-game comments

New York Giants wideout Malik Nabers didn't appreciate the way he was portrayed by the Fox broadcast team in Week 9. After the Giants' 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, Nabers called out Fox analyst Greg Olsen after the former tight end made comments criticizing Nabers' body language.

Nabers' full statement — which has seemingly been deleted from Instagram — read:

"Y'all be trying [sic] create a narrative on me soo bad it's actually crazy!! If you dnt like the way I play the game keep the camera off me!! SIMPLE! "But @gregolsen88 callin me a bad teammate when every team I've been on, there's NOBODY I've played with has said dat bout me is crazy! "My face the same way if I'm havin a good game, bad, winning or losing. If it's a problem. 1. Keep the camera off me. 2. Pray bout it! Simple."

During the broadcast, Olsen responded after his partner, Joe Davis, called out Nabers' poor body language throughout the game. Olsen said, "It's just not good" before making a point about receivers who demand the ball, per ESPN.

"But there is a very fine line between being demanding, being a competitor and all of those great things. That's great. It just can never cross [that line] where it feels like it takes away from the success of your teammates. So when your teammate catches a wide-open touchdown, you need to be the happiest guy on the field. You can't still be worried about your targets. That's the fine line. He's a talented young, really good player. He's just got to keep it in check."

Olsen then criticized Nabers for a missed catch in the end zone later on the broadcast.

At no point did Olsen outright say Nabers was a "bad teammate," a narrative Olsen was adamant about on X on Monday morning. The comments, though, appeared to cross the line with the receiver, who certainly interpreted things that way.

While Nabers was held in check in Week 9, he's been a highly productive receiver most of the year. In his return from ACL surgery, Nabers has 648 yards in eight games. That total ranks 11th in the NFL. He's done that despite playing with three different quarterbacks this season.
