In an exciting matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, New York Giants rookies Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy Jr. achieved significant milestones during a first-quarter drive. Nabers, a wide receiver, showcased his agility and speed by taking a screen pass from quarterback Drew Lock on a crucial third-and-14 situation. He maneuvered past Colts defenders Nick Cross and Julian Blackmon, sprinting 31 yards into the end zone, marking a pivotal moment that gave the Giants an early 7-3 lead.

With this touchdown, Nabers not only celebrated his fifth receiving touchdown of the season but also reached a personal milestone of 1,000 receiving yards, having entered the game with 969 yards on 97 receptions. His first target of the game, the 31-yard catch, solidified his place among the elite rookie receivers this season.

Meanwhile, fellow rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. contributed significantly to the drive with a 40-yard rush, bringing his total to over 1,000 yards from scrimmage for the season. This duo's performance is noteworthy as they become only the third pair of rookies in NFL history to surpass 1,000 scrimmage yards in a single season, joining the ranks of the 2006 New Orleans Saints, who featured Reggie Bush and Marques Colston.
