Beckham’s career day, late 66-yard TD lead Giants

Sunday could have ended on a sour note if the Giants’ defense hadn’t made one final stop in a 27-23 victory.

Beckham has eight touchdown receptions of 50 or more yards, the NFL’s highest total since he entered the league in 2014.

The Ravens drove all the way to the Giants’ 24-yard line in the final seconds before running out of time.

The Ravens’ lead was short-lived as Manning found Beckham with 75-yard strike on a post which gave the Giants their first lead in the game. And amid the roller-coaster ride that Beckham will surely take this team and its fans on over the next few months, steady play by their quarterback will determine when and where this season ends.

The third-year pro fumbled on the Giants’ first offensive play of the game, and it was unclear if he’d even play in the second half after suffering a hip pointer after a hard fall going up for a pass with 6:40 remaining in the first half; he came back for one play, then retreated to the locker room.

“Whatever it is, it was bad. There’s no more to say than penalties, that’s what’s killing us”. Get Beckham more involved in the game, not because it makes him happy, but because it helps the Giants win. I’ve never been one to just argue calls. I prayed for strength. I did a good job of using my hands and protecting my legs.

“We get down there in a good position and we go backward instead of forward so it definitely hurts”, said Joe Flacco, who threw for 307 yards.

So Cruz watched, amused, as his buddy proposed marriage to the kicking net, celebrating in a uniquely Beckham way, but doing so in an entirely appropriate postgame-winning-touchdown setting. Then he goes and cuddles with his enemy-turned-friend, the kicking net.

The team recorded four plays of at least 20 yards (and two more big gains on penalties) after having just 11 in the first five games.

There should be no excuse as to why a player had 222 receiving yards.

On the play before Eli Manning and Beckham connected on 4th and 1 with Beckham taking the ball 66 yards to the house, Donnell caught a Manning pass in the flat.

“Yeah, that was fun”, Manning said. “We held him down in the first half. We’re going to get everything looked at before we find out what the diagnosis is, and we’re going to go from there”.

Eli on @WFAN660 re Odell: “It’s one of those deals where, hey, you can get real sick of it if he’s not going out there and making plays”.

Odell Beckham Jr scored a touchdown late in the fourth quarter to edge the New York Giants past the Baltimore Ravens.

Baltimore will try to get back on track next week as the Ravens will once again play at Metlife Stadium.

Things went downhill after Jimmy Smith left with a concussion.

“Odell made some unbelievable plays out there”. Safety Eric Weddle and cornerback Tavon Young collided as they crossed paths. A drag route in two-minute, we have to get the first down there. We man guys up. Beckham’s 222 yards receiving were the second most in Giants history: Del Shofner had 269 yards vs. Washington on October 28, 1962.

He caught seven of his nine targets for a career-high 162 yards and a score.
