Malik Nabers extends 100-yard streak despite Giants’ quarterback changes
Giants receiver Malik Nabers has four straight 100-yard games despite playing with backup quarterbacks.
He made at least 100 receiving yards in each of the Giants’ four October games, with Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy at quarterback.
No player has had a longer such streak since the 1970 NFL merger, though four players are tied with Nabers at four games.
His results show he has continued producing even as the Giants have changed quarterbacks.
Nabers missed practice with a knee issue but told reporters he expects to play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
The Giants are due to give him an official game designation on Friday, and a 100-yard game would make him the first player since the merger with five in a row while playing with backup quarterbacks.
Malik Nabers has recorded four consecutive 100-yard receiving games for the New York Giants with quarterbacks who were not the team’s Week 1 starters.
The streak ties the longest such run since the 1970 NFL merger, according to CBS Sports.
Nabers was named the NFC offensive player of the month for October.
He missed a Giants practice on Thursday because of his knee but told reporters he expected to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
A fifth straight 100-yard game would make him the only player since the merger to achieve that streak with backup quarterbacks, CBS Sports reported.
