With his 143-yard performance against the Falcons on Monday Night Football, Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr. became the fastest receiver in NFL history to 5,000 career yards, reaching that mark in just 54 games. In the 23-20 loss to Atlanta, Beckham had his best yards-per-catch average (17.9) of the season, as well as his longest reception, a 51-yarder in the third quarter that led to a New York field goal. While controversy has surrounded Beckham all season, the only hint of drama on Monday night came when he left the sideline in the fourth quarter to visit the men’s room, prompting ESPN’s Booger McFarland to deem Beckham a “diva wide receiver” for not relieving himself on the sideline as many players do.
