The OBJ rage tour continues. In the New York Giants’ 34-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football, Odell Beckham Jr. was visibly frustrated on the sideline, taking it out on innocent cooling fans and at one point departing the field early.
Before the team’s final snap entering halftime, cameras spotted Beckham angrily walking back to the locker room.
After the game, Beckham attributed this to getting an IV for dehydration, which certainly seems plausible. Taken with other signs, however, it's apparent either way that he remains upset with his team, which falls to 1-5 on the season.
Like, look: This guy clearly isn’t happy!
Of course, Beckham has plenty of reason to be frustrated. Some of his teammates, as well as coach Pat Shurmur, were seen on camera yelling at Manning throughout the game to throw the ball.
Although Shurmur forced Beckham to apologize to teammates and reportedly fined him after a recent tell-all ESPN interview, OBJ certainly seems to have a point. Manning’s reliance on short passes (and seeming inability to throw deep) has held his team’s offensive options in check, and that includes Beckham, who signed to be the league’s highest-paid receiver in the summer.
In fact, it was Saquon Barkley doing it all on Thursday, as the Giants relied on their rookie running back to lead the team in rushing and receiving by legging out the yardage on ridiculous plays like this one.
