Malik Nabers reaches 1,000 yards, gives Giants 7-3 lead with 31-yard TD
The Giants haven’t given their fans much to cheer about at home this season but a couple of big plays have given New York a 7-3 first-quarter lead.
Receiver Malik Nabers scored his fifth receiving touchdown of the year to put the Giants ahead.
The 31-yard reception gave Nabers exactly 1,000 yards on the season. The Fox broadcast showed Nabers asking for the football.
Running back Tyrone Tracy had put the Giants in scoring position with a 40-yard run down to the Indianapolis 27.
The Colts took a 3-0 lead with 3:45 left in the first quarter on Matt Gay’s 32-yard field goal. Indianapolis has spent a lot of time in opponent territory, but a Joe Flacco interception ended the first drive. And Flacco was sacked on third-and-2 from the New York 10 to force the field goal attempt.
