Pat Shurmur defends game plan after Odell Beckham Jr.'s criticism

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur didn't agree with star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s postgame assessment that attacking the injury-ravaged Philadelphia Eagles secondary "wasn't in our game plan."

The Eagles were missing four of their top five cornerbacks in Sunday's 25-22 come-from-behind win. It didn't stop them from shutting down the Giants in the second half (56 total yards), prompting Beckham from deflecting a handful of questions after the loss to his coach.

Shurmur saw it differently as the Giants allowed a 16-point lead to slip away.
