New York Giants receiver Malik Nabers had quite an incredible first half during Sunday's game vs. the Cleveland Browns.

The rookie scored two touchdowns during the last two minutes of the second quarter. And, both were pretty impressive.

Nabers caught the first touchdown thrown by quarterback Daniel Jones in the back left corner of the end zone. He twirled and caught the ball before falling, but he made sure to land both feet in the end zone before falling. It was quite the heroic play.
