The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver made NFL postseason history.

Odell Beckham Jr. was out to prove that he can still be an impact player in the NFL and what better stage than the playoffs? In Los Angeles’ 34-11 win over the Arizona Cardinals Monday, Beckham made some NFL postseason history. Beckham become the first player to record a 30-yard reception and a 30-yard pass completion in the same game.

It was a productive night for Odell Beckham Jr., finishing with four receptions for 54 yards and one touchdown in addition to the 40 passing yards on the night. Beckham has proved that he does not belong on the scrap heap that the Browns threw him on as he has six touchdowns since landing with the Rams while Baker Mayfield has just three passing touchdowns to Cleveland wide receivers. Everything appears to be setting up well for Beckham wherever he lands next as his contract is up after the season. The biggest stage is allowing Beckham to show he can still produce and is not the washed up has been he has been painted as.

After being thrown on the scrap heap by the Cleveland Browns, Odell Beckham Jr. is proving he is not done with the Los Angeles Rams. 

The reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated. Odell Beckham Jr. was considered to be done and that he would not be able to contribute to an NFL team. Enter Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams. Los Angeles pounced on the opportunity to add Beckham after Cleveland decided they were better off without him. Hint, they aren’t. In what now looks like a colossal blunder by the Browns, Beckham has come back to life and is making impact plays for the Rams.

In six games for Los Angeles, Odell Beckham Jr. has 20 receptions for 248 yards and four touchdowns. Beckham is not the primary target in the passing game, but he doesn’t have to be, Cooper Kupp has excelled in that role all season long. All Beckham has to do is produce when called upon. Beckham’s four touchdowns since arriving in Los Angeles is more than any Browns pass catcher this season. David Njoku, Donovan Peoples- Jones, and Austin Hooper each have three touchdowns over 12 or more games, Beckham has more in just six. Beckham has four receiving touchdowns in five games, the most of any stretch dating back to Weeks 9-12 in the 2018 season.

The fact Odell Beckham Jr. is beginning to resemble his former self is quite the indictment on the Browns, mainly Baker Mayfield. Beckham is a positive contributor for Los Angeles while Cleveland’s passing game continues to plummet week after week. The Rams appear poised to be making a postseason run while the Browns are staring a losing season and missing the playoffs right in the face. It’s easy to wonder where Cleveland’s offense would be if they hadn’t decided to move on from their best receiver in the first place. Thanks to a move that looks worse as time goes on for the Browns, the Rams are getting valuable production from a player Cleveland they decided they were better off without. Too bad that is far from the truth.
