Odell Beckham: 3 Receptions, 35 Yards, 1 Touchdown, 1 Pass Completion, 49 Yards, 1 Touchdown
The Giant All-Pro wide receiver showed his versatility on Sunday—by throwing his second passing touchdown this season. His other one came against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5.
It was also the second passing touchdown from Beckham that was over 40 yards—two more than Eli Manning this year. Odell didn’t make a huge dent in the passing game with just 35 yards receiving on three receptions.

The good thing is, Beckham found the end zone still—coming from a Manning pass on fourth-down. It’s hard to make plays when your quarterback is incapable of pushing the ball downfield. Beckham still finds ways to showcase his talents as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.
The Bears defense seemed keen on slowing down Beckham—doubling the Giants wide out for the majority of the contest. Even when Beckham isn’t putting up huge numbers, he allows other guys to have more opportunities to make plays.
There’s no doubt that Beckham would be arguably considered the best wide receiver in the NFL if there was someone else under center. Odell will hope to get things going in the passing game in Week 14, when the Giants take on the Washington Redskins.
