Malik Nabers, theNew York Giants’ sidelined star wide receiver, unleashed on his team in a since-deleted social media post following their overtime loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Nabers appeared to take issue with the team’s play-calling in the fourth quarter when the team opted to go for it on fourth down up three points.The Giants turned the ball over and the Lions drove down the field and tied the game on a Jake Bates 59-yard field goal.

“Sometimes I think they (be) making us lose on purpose!” he wrote on X.“Cause it’s no way, bro you throw the ball instead of runnin it to make em burn 2 timeouts??Then you (don’t) kick the field goal???Then they have to go down and score!!!Football common sense!!!!Am I missing something?”

Nabers deleted the post, but not beforeNFL mediaand fans alike took a screenshot.

The drive in question saw the Giants run 14 plays for 86 yards without yielding any points.Jameis Winston’s pass to Theo Johnson in the end zone was incomplete.
