Odell Beckham Jr. shook the soul out of the Eagles’ Jalen Mills to pull the Giants within a touchdown at 14-7.
It was one of those “now you see me, now you don’t” moves.
It was a great touchdown. The celebration, however, was better.
Yes, that’s OBJ pretending to be a dog peeing. Beckham was given a penalty for the celebration. Joe Buck called it a “classless celebration” on FOX’s broadcast.
It was not unlike Bucks’ call of Randy Moss’ mooning celebration in Green Bay years ago, which was called a “disgusting act.”
After a second touchdown, Beckham raised a fist:

After the game, Beckham had the following to say about the dog celebration:

It comes two days after Donald Trump described protesting NFL players as a “son of a bitch” and said that they should be fired.
Giants owner John Mara was not pleased with Beckham’s celebration and said the team will deal with it internally, according to Mike Vaccaro of the New York Post.
