ORLANDO, Fla. — Odell Beckham Jr. did his best to make a splash at the Pro Bowl on Sunday night, but it wasn’t in the cards early on at Camping World Stadium.
The Giants receiver, playing in his third Pro Bowl in as many NFL seasons, got the ball on the first play of the game, catching a screen pass from Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott for a 6-yard gain. Although 31 passes were attempted in the first half, Beckham didn’t get another catch until the final two minutes of the second quarter.
On first-and-goal from the 4-yard line, the Saints’ Drew Brees tried to get the ball to Beckham, but the pass was intercepted by the Bills’ Stephon Gilmore.
