During Sunday’s game between the Washington Redskins and New York Giants, a highly emotional Odell Beckham Jr. was seen screaming on the sidelines, punching a kicking net and even crying.



The Giants would lose the game 29-27, with quarterback Eli Manning throwing two interceptions at two critical moments, once on the Redskins’ goal line and once on the Giants’ final drive of the game.

Beckham’s tirade appeared to have frustrated head coach Ben McAdoo. From NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport: 

It may have been a distracting performance on the sideline, but Beckham gave a tremendous performance on the field. Beckham finished with a season-high 121 yards and several highlight-worthy plays including a one-handed grab along the sideline and a catch and spin in the red zone.

This isn’t the first time Beckham has let his emotions get the best of him. Against the Carolina Panthers last year, Beckham threw vicious late hits, including a helmet-to-helmet hit on cornerback Josh Norman.
