Tyrann Mathieu set the record straight on Sunday about a false claim made about Malik Nabers.
A Giants fan thought that Nabers yelled out, “Y’all f–king calling plays like I ain’t out there” during Sunday’s New Orleans Saints-New York Giants game.
The fan’s post on X drew attention and made it seem like Nabers was calling out the Giants’ coaches, which would have been a negative storyline surrounding the team.
Here is the post shared by the fan.
Malik Nabers was yelling “Y’all f**king calling plays like I ain’t out there.” Big yikes.

Luckily for Nabers and the Giants, Mathieu stepped in to set things straight.
“That was actually me,” Mathieu wrote in response to the post.

What a Giants fan thought was Nabers complaining turned out to be an opponent taunting the Giants.
Mathieu’s New Orleans Saints won the game 14-11 to improve to 5-8, though they lost Derek Carr to a hand injury.
Nabers led his Giants with 5 catches for 79 yards, while Mathieu had one tackle in the contest. The veteran safety has 46 tackles and 3 interceptions this season. Meanwhile, Nabers continues to be faced with questions about his team and its fans.
