Odell Beckham Jr. Says He Head-Butted Fan to Get Himself 'Fired Up'

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was caught on camera punching and head-butting a fan on the sideline during Thursday night's 34-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

On Friday, Beckham explained that he was just trying to get himself fired up, per Jake Becker and Scott Thompson of SNY:

"I was trying to get myself going. I feel like some of those plays right after I was getting myself going was some of my best stuff. I was trying to get myself fired up, I did that, and it helped me.
