Odell Beckham Jr. admits the reaction to his suggestion last week that the Giants could win their final eight games and somehow sneak into the playoffs was a bit skeptical.
“When I said it, I heard a lot of chuckles and all that stuff,” he said Thursday.
He’s not backing down, even if the odds of running the table the rest of the season are remote, if not astronomical. The Giants made good on the first game, beating the 49ers, 27-23, in a fourth-quarter comeback Monday night at Levi’s Stadium. The Giants were awash in relief afterward, even if the win still left them at 2-7 and with only a prayer left of finishing with a winning record and playing into January.
