Baltimore Ravens WR Odell Beckham Jr. Hitting Form; Scores TD in Reunion With Cleveland Browns
It just had to be, didn't it? Against his former team, Baltimore Ravens receiver Odell Beckham Jr. scored a touchdown to extend the Ravens' lead in the third quarter against the Cleveland Browns.
After no touchdowns in the first six weeks, Beckham Jr. now has two in two games as Lamar Jackson hit him on a quick route, and Odell did the rest as he raced away for a 40-yard touchdown.
Leading into the game, Beckham Jr. stated that there was "no animosity" towards the Browns after they released him midway through the 2021 season (in which he played a part in), but this will surely be a sweet moment for him.
The Ravens offense has woken up recently, and it looks like Odell is one beneficiary of that.

After the best game of the season for Odell last week against the Seattle Seahawks, which saw him haul in five catches for 56 yards and a touchdown from Tyler Huntley, he was back at it against the Browns.
What makes his touchdown even better is that it was also his first catch of the game. It might not be your match, but it can be your moment, and when his moment came, Beckham Jr. took it with both hands and put the Ravens in a commanding position.
With the offense having an abundance of weapons that includes Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, Nelson Agholor, and running backs in Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, and the emerging Keaton Mitchell, if we add a confident Beckham Jr. to that group, then it looks scary going forward.
OBJ's touchdown last week was no doubt a relief, but his catch against the Browns will no doubt have him in a confident mood going forward, and that will only mean good things for Baltimore's offense.
