Brian Daboll, Malik Nabers react to ‘Fix this dumpster fire’ airplane banner flying over Giants game
Just prior to Sunday’s Week 14 game between the New York Giants (2-11) and New Orleans Saints (5-8), a plane flew over MetLife Stadium towing a banner that read, “MR. MARA ENOUGH — PLZ FIX THIS DUMPSTER FIRE.”
The Giants went on to drop their eighth consecutive game, 14-11, in front of a sparse crowd. After the game, head coach Brian Daboll fielded a question about the plane that flew over the stadium before kickoff.

“I’d say, look, we’ve won two games,” Daboll said. “I’m not happy either.”
Giants continue freefall with Week 14 loss to Saints
Amid the disastrous campaign, one of the lone bright spots has been rookie wideout Malik Nabers, who has a realistic shot at topping 1,000 receiving yards with three different quarterbacks throwing him the football (Daniel Jones, Tommy DeVito, Drew Lock). Nabers has been open at times about his frustration as the losses have piled up and like Daboll, was asked to comment on the plane. Nabers learned of the plane flying over the stadium as he was questioned.
“I didn’t pay for the plane,” Nabers said, via SNY Giants. “I ain’t got nothing to say.”
New York is guaranteed to finish with a losing season for the seventh time in the last eight, and fans appear to have hit a breaking point, calling on team president John Mara to fix the on-field product. That could entail another change at the head coaching position, as Daboll is now 17-29-1 since taking over in 2022.
