While wearing Kirby-themed cleats, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had a game for the ages on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
Beckham racked up 222 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown in the Giants’ 27-23 victory over the Ravens. This performance comes after a rough start to the season for the wide receiver.
The video above shows just how crucial Beckham’s performance was. New York was down to a 4th-and-1 in its own territory, and Beckham saved the day by racing 66 yards.
The celebration was also something to be seen. Beckham freaked out after putting the Giants ahead and ended up proposing to the now-infamous New York kicking net.
This performance comes following a start to the season that left some concerned about Beckham’s behavior affecting his team. The wideout also told reporters that football wasn’t fun for him anymore.
But after performing poorly to kick off the 2016 season, this was a breakout effort and one that impressed — and confused — fans.
Beckham’s breakout game has to be a good sign for the Giants. With the NFC East looking to be a tight race, an effective Beckham would help New York stay in the playoff hunt.
