Odell Beckham Jr. said he had an “anxious” feeling throughout the first half against the Bears on Sunday. Not because of the way the Giants offense was functioning (which wasn’t very good) but because he knew what was coming in the game plan.
“Coach [Mike] Shula came up to me before the game and was like, ‘Can you throw a wet ball with your gloves on?’ ” Beckham said on Thursday. “And I was like, ‘Coach, don’t worry about it. I got this.’ ”
Turned out he did. Beckham threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Russell Shepard early in the third quarter to give the Giants the lead in what was eventually an overtime win over the Bears.
