It hasn’t been sunshine and rainbows for the New York Giants in Week 1.
With a seemingly improved roster (on paper) and good vibes throughout the preseason, head coach Brian Daboll must have been feeling good about his squad entering Week 1 vs. the Washington Commanders.
However, a poor start to the game led to a bit of a heated exchange between Daboll and star sophomore receiver Malik Nabers during the break between the first and second quarter.
That led to the head coach attempting to rally a few players, Nabers included. Cameras this time caught Daboll extending his hand for a high-five, but Nabers didn’t reciprocate the feeling, leaving Daboll to awkwardly side-hug the receiver.
Of course, not all things are as they seem, so an explanation from Daboll and Nabers postgame should shed some light on the situation and discussion.
With the Giants down 14-3 at halftime to their division rival, the two should look to get on the same page, and well before those postgame explanations are made.
