Cowboys and Giant Beef Flares Behind Trevon Diggs and Malik Nabers Shots

The rivalry between the Giants and Cowboys may not have the same intensity as that between Dallas and Philadelphia, but it is one of the oldest in the NFL. Despite being division rivals and having played some of the best games over the years, the rivalry has always been lopsided, with the US team dominating in recent years. However, Giant’s new WR, Malik Nabers, is determined to reignite the competitiveness of this historic rivalry.

It all started when Nabers was asked which Cornerback game he was most looking forward to, and he named Trevon Diggs. This inflamed Diggs, who tweeted that the Giants had come to the end of the beatings in recent years, sparking another series of exchanges on social media.

Malik intervened and posted this text from Boot Up: “P**** want Insta’ beef, he tweetin’ and I see all that”. Well, Diggs ended this match with a ninja emoji and got the final say. The former LSU wideout has yet to comment.

This certainly adds a twist to an otherwise one-sided rivalry. The Cowboys defeated the Giants 40-0 on the road at MetLife Stadium in game week 1, setting an ominous tone for another disastrous season for the Big Blue. In the second game of the season between them, Dallas emerged victorious, defeating the toothless New Yorkers 49–17, completing another double as they won the division.

Well, Malik Nabers might have to reignite this rivalry since his QB is still Daniel Jones.

Giants QB Daniel Jones rates even lower than untested Jayden Daniels?

During the recent episode of NFL’s ‘Move the Sticks’ with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks, the hosts ranked Jones lower than Jayden Daniels, who has not played a second in the NFL. While ranking the NFL East QBs, both Jeremiah and Bucky Dak ranked Prescott, Jalen Hurts and Jayden Daniels ahead of Daniel Jones.

It’s hard to disagree with these rankings considering Jones’ performance since he was signed to a four-year, $160 million contract. Last season he played just six games, lost five, threw for fewer than 1,000 yards and recorded more interceptions than touchdowns.

In his five seasons as a starter, the Giants have made the playoffs just once. However, Jones performed admirably in the 2022 season, passing for 3,205 yards with 15 touchdowns and just 5 picks. He also added 708 rushing yards and 7 rushing Touchdowns.

The Giants are hopeful that Jones can return to his 2022 form. They have bolstered their receiving corps by adding Nabers, Isaiah McKenzie, Isaiah Hodgins, Miles Boykin, Allen Robinson, Ayir Asante and John Jiles. They also signed tight ends Jack Stoll, Chris Manhertz and Theo Johnson.

However, another disastrous season spells trouble for Jones and could mean the end of the road for him in Giants colors and even his chance to play as QB1 anywhere in the league. The franchise could look for a new franchise QB in the 2025 Draft, with someone like Shedeur Sanders a possible option.
