Thursday evening is a ‘normal match’ for Malik Nabers

For some footballers, playing in prime time has a different feeling.

In the case of New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, he says Thursday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys is just another game.

The rookie wide receiver was among one of the biggest headlines in sports to date, coming off a game in which he made quite a few highlights in the New York Giants’ win over the Cleveland Browns.

Before Thursday night’s game against the division rival Dallas Cowboys, Nabers spoke to the media about a variety of topics, including prime time play, his talent for making elite catches and his ability to play football.

Find out what Nabers had to say here:

On playing against the Dallas Cowboys…

“I just feel like going out and playing.”

The importance of this week’s match…

“It’s a conference game, so it always feels good to go against your conference and try to win there.”

About playing in prime time…

“It’s a normal match.”

What Nabers thought of his catches vs. Cleveland…

“They were good catches, but I have made better catches than that. I’m not surprised by it, it’s just how I play, that’s who I am.

“I always make some crazy catches in practice, so I’m curious to see how the practice can translate to the game.”

Breaking down his touchdown reception…

“The way my mind was going, when I (saw) where the ball was going, I just jumped. And I didn’t want to try to fall back, and hopefully my body would keep traveling back and I wouldn’t be able to get my foot in. So I caught it and just kept my body moving and twisted my waist. . Then my feet just followed my waist. After I turned around, I saw where I was and I knew I had some extra room, so I just tried to get down three feet.
