Giants' Malik Nabers Shuts Down Talk of Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: 'It's Game Time Now'

The time for talking is over for New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers as he prepares to go up against Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs on Thursday night.

Asked about the matchup, Nabers told reporters he's looking forward to it but declined to go any further and said, "It's game time now."

Over the summer, the rookie wideout said he's most looking forward to playing against Diggs of any corner in the NFL, and the two-time Pro Bowler clearly took exception to the remark:

Diggs clearly has the experience edge heading into Week 4, but Nabers might be the early favorite in this head-to-head battle.

The No. 6 overall pick has hauled in 23 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns through three games. In Sunday's 21-15 win over the Cleveland Browns, he delivered a pair of highlight-reel grabs.

The Cowboys, meanwhile, are coming off two straight weeks in which their defense struggled to slow down the opposing passing game.

Derek Carr was 11-of-16 for 243 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the New Orleans Saints' 44-19 demolition of Dallas. This past Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson was an even more efficient 12-of-15 for 182 yards and one touchdown in a 28-25 victory.

Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis lamented how the team is "not detailed in our work" after the consecutive defeats.

Maybe the Cowboys secondary will get things right against Daniel Jones. The Giants quarterback has thrown five interceptions in his eight starts against them, and the ball-hawking Diggs accounts for two of those.

He's bound to have his hands full when he's lining up opposite Nabers, though.
