Beckham Jr. fined for punching Bills safety

USA TODAY Sports

The NFL hit Odell Beckham Jr. where it hurts the most, in his wallet. New York's young stud will pay for his punch last Sunday.

Odell Beckham Jr. is an emotional player and opponents are making a habit of taking advantage of the star receiver's fiery personality.

The NFL announced Wednesday that it fined Beckham $8,681 for punching Buffalo Bills safety Duke Williams during the Giants Week 4 win. The former LSU standout was not penalized during the play, but the league retroactively levied a fine on the second year wide-out.

Following a preseason contest against the Jaguars, Victor Cruz told reporters that Jacksonville's secondary was "gunning" for Beckham with cheap shots and overly physical contact.
