The New York Giants have had yet another atrociously awful season, finishing 6-10 and needing three wins in their final five games to manage even that. And yet there's something hopeful about New York, something that keeps you from writing them off like their divisional brethren the Redskins or their stadium-mates the Jets.
That something is Odell Beckham Jr., the rookie who could pull an eagle out of the sky. He did exactly that on Sunday with another gravity-defying, sticky-fingered Cirque-du-Soleil-worthy grab that you can see above. He also scored a 63-yard touchdown that ended with him running backward into the end zone. No big deal.
Beckham has the circus skills, yes, but he's become one of the most reliable go-to receivers in the game in just his first season. He totaled 91 catches and 1,305 yards in just 12 games, both NFL records. So while he may or may not ever match the beauty from earlier this season against Dallas, there's always the chance that he could.
He's also given the Giants a new rallying cry: if you're gonna stink, at least look good doing it.
