Daniel Jones won’t have Giants job for long if he can’t get ball to Malik Nabers
NY Post
Malik Nabers will never go all Keyshawn Johnson on the Giants and say it, so we will.
Throw him the damn ball.
Wherever Nabers is on the field when the Giants play the Commanders Sunday in Maryland, the rookie receiver should be Daniel Jones’ first look.
As you may have heard, there’s been a lot of hand-wringing in and around the Giants about the starting quarterback. And rightfully so given Jones’ poor performance in the season-opening 28-6 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Jones’ lack of accuracy and his indecisiveness have led to rapid and rampant speculation that he’s playing for his starting job Sunday. No one will admit to it — least of all Jones — but he looked like a quarterback who’s lost his confidence.
Another sagging performance similar to the one he delivered against the Sam Darnold Vikings at MetLife Stadium and head coach Brian Daboll may have no choice but to bench Jones.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
