Odell Beckham Jr.’s production has come alive in the last few weeks. The Baltimore Ravens wide receiver recently got his first 100-yard game for his new team. His role on offense expanded as the passing game became more and more comfortable with new offensive coordinator Todd Monken.
The game between the Ravens and the Los Angeles Rams at the M&T Bank Stadium has been nothing short of extraordinary, with both teams combining for 37 points at halftime. However, no touchdown was as impressive as Odell Beckham Jr.’s double move, which left him totally free in a deep route:
‘; }); pollOptions.innerHTML = pollOptionsDom; pollCount.innerHTML = totalVotes + ‘ votes’; if (totalVotes > 10) { pollCount.classList.remove(“hidden”); } } function trackBetsTodayPollImpression() { var intersectionObserverForArticlePoll = new IntersectionObserver( function(entries) { entries.forEach(function(entry) { var pollId = entry.target.getAttribute(“data-poll-id”); if (POLLS_BY_ID[pollId][‘impression_tracked’]) return; if (!entry.target || !entry.isIntersecting || entry.intersectionRatio < 0.5) return; setTimeout(function() { if (isInViewport(entry.target)) { POLLS_BY_ID[pollId][‘impression_tracked’] = true; var isDesktop = “1”; var gaPayload = { “question” : POLLS_BY_ID[pollId][‘question’], “category”: “NFL”, “page_url”: window.location.href, “option1”: POLLS_BY_ID[pollId][‘option1’], “option2”: POLLS_BY_ID[pollId][‘option2’], } if (isDesktop) { gaPayload[“device”] = “Desktop”; } else { gaPayload[“device”] = “Mobile”; } gtag(“event”, “BETS_TODAY_POLL_IMPRESSION”, gaPayload); intersectionObserverForArticlePoll.unobserve(entry.target); } }, 1000); }); }, { threshold: 0.5 } ); var pollElements = document.querySelectorAll(‘.bets-today-poll’); pollElements.forEach(function(pollElement) { var isAnswered = pollElement.querySelector(“.poll-option-answered”); if (!isAnswered) { intersectionObserverForArticlePoll.observe(pollElement); } }) } return { answerPollX: answerPollX, }; }();
Ravens fans were stunned to see such a crafty route executed by Odell, who has become better in his fundamentals as his NFL career advanced. They made sure to point out that whoever called Beckham Jr. ‘washed’ would have to eat that one, with one tweeting:

Why did the Rams let Odell Beckham Jr. go?
Odell Beckham Jr.’s situation was very difficult to handle over the last couple of years.
He was released by the Cleveland Browns in Nov. 2021, signed with the Los Angeles Rams for the remaineder of the season and became an important part in winning the Super Bowl, scoring a touchdown in the big game.
However, in the same game, he injured his knee badly, tearing his ACL and missing the entire 2022 season.
He signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens during free agency and has been a starter in 2023.
