The New York Giants spectacularly stopped their 10-game losing streak on Sunday with a 45-33 victory over the Indianapolis Colts at MetLife Stadium.
The pitch-catch combination of quarterback Drew Lock and wide receiver Malik Nabers buoyed Big Blue. Lock completed 17 of 23 attempts (73.9 percent) for 309 yards, four touchdowns, and a 155.3 passer rating while rushing for a fifth touchdown while Nabers caught seven passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns.
Their performances got them nominated for FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week honors.
Among the other candidates for Week 17 honors are: Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Tee Higgins, Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield, and Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor.
FedEx gives fans the opportunity to recognize the best performances from skill position players each week of the season by voting at NFL.com/FedEx. As a reminder, there are no longer positional restrictions for the FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week Awards. The two players with the highest number of votes – regardless of position – will be named FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week when voting closes at 3:00 PM ET on Wednesday.
Expect Lock and Nabers to be considered for other weekly awards thanks to their respective performances.
