The New York Giants’ rookie duo, wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., achieved history. During the first half against the Indianapolis Colts, Nabers and Tracy both exceeded 1,000 scrimmage yards for the season. They became just the third pair of teammates in NFL history to accumulate 1,000 all-purpose yards as rookies.

It is not often that a rookie passes the thousand-yard mark, but the Giants had two rookies achieve this goal in yesterday’s game against the Colts, which resulted in a 45-33 victory. Reggie Bush and Marques Colston represented the last duo to accomplish this, doing so with the New Orleans Saints during their 2006 season.

A Star Emerging Despite Another Losing Season, Giving the Giants Offense Something to Build Around
Whether or not you were rooting for the Giants to win, Nabers put on a show in the last home game of the season. Avoiding a winless record at home, Nabers found himself in the end zone twice, on top of seven receptions for 171 yards. In arguably his best game, he had a career-high game in receiving yards as well as tying his career-high two touchdowns in a game.
