Go out there first, second quarter, dont get the ball, start getting targets at the end, Nabers said .

I mean, I cant do nothing.

Start getting the ball when its 30-0.

What you want me to do? I dont know.

Talk to (Brian Daboll) about that.

Talk to Dabs.

Nabers caught six passes on nine targets for 64 yards on Sunday.

All of his receptions came in the second half when the result was no longer in doubt.
