Beckham's Heroics Saves Giants; Shock Ravens
Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports
Odell Beckham Jr.'s first-half performance was disastrous, and he originally left the game in the second-quarter with a hip-pointer injury. He could have not returned, but he did and it was a massive wake-up call for him and the New York Giants. He had the game-winning 66-yard touchdown reception with 1:24 remaining.
It was on a fourth-and-1 pass play from Eli Manning and Beckham zig zagged through the defense.
In the first quarter, the Ravens jumped out to a 10 to 0 lead early on a field-goal and a Terrance West 1-yard touchdown run.
In the second quarter, Eli Manning threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Roger Lewis Jr.
With the Giants trailing 13 to 10 in the third-quarter, Eli Manning threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to Odell Beckham Jr. Manning finished with 403 passing yards 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Beckham Jr. finished with 8 catches for 222 yards receiving and 2 touchdowns.
On the next drive, Joe Flacco connected on a 70-yard pass to Mike Wallace. Flacco finished with 307 yards passing. Wallace finished with 4 catches for 97 yards receiving.
With the Ravens trailing 17 to 13 in the fourth-quarter, they were stuffed on a fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line. Later in the fourth-quarter, the Ravens were trailing 20 to 16 and Terrance West scored on a 2-yard rushing touchdown to give them the lead back. West finished with 87 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns.
After the Ravens gave up the long touchdown to Beckham, they would have one more chance. On a fourth-and-5 play from the NYG 39, Flacco threw an incomplete pass, but the Giants were called for roughing the passer.
The Ravens would breathe life with 15 seconds remaining, but the Giants held on. The New York Giants will travel to London to face the Los Angeles Rams (3-3) next Sunday.
