Nicks scores first career NFL touchdown in Giants win

Posted Oct 5, 2009
Hakeem Nicks only had one catch in the Giants’ 27-16 win over the Chiefs Sunday, but boy did the 6-1, 212-pound rookie make it count. Nicks, who missed the Giants’ past two games with a foot injury, played most of the game as the team’s No. 3 receiver and was silent until the fourth quarter, when he caught a screen pass from quarterback Eli Manning and took it 54 yards for his first NFL touchdown.
