Defensive backs putting bull's-eye on Odell Beckham Jr.

There are plenty of perks about being Odell Beckham Jr. But also some perils.

One of the negatives was evident in Saturday's game against the Jaguars when the second-year wide receiver did not have a catch and at least two of those incompletions were the result of him avoiding a punishing blow from a defensive back.
