Nabers made a twisting touchdown grab with 1:44 left in the first half and then, with 11 seconds remaining, he recorded his second touchdown catch of the game. The Giants took a 21-7 lead into the locker room over the Browns.

With the second touchdown grab, Nabers became the youngest wide receiver in NFL history to have two receiving touchdowns in a single game. Nabers is 21 years and 56 days old. Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Mike Evans initially set the mark when he was 21 years and 73 days old in 2014.
Nabers had six catches for 66 yards and two touchdowns after the first two quarters of the game.

The 2024 first-round pick had 10 catches for 127 yards and a touchdown in the Giants’ three-point loss to the Washington Commanders. But he had a key drop in the game, which he took the blame for.
Nabers said going into the game he was putting that crucial play behind him.
“It just gives me confidence,” he told reporters. “It shows that I can go out here and compete. So, just going out there and trying to do the same thing every week.”
