Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. looked like the prime version of himself on a 40-yard touchdown against the Cleveland Browns

With the Ravens facing a 3rd-and-6 from the Browns' 40-yard line, quarterback Lamar Jackson dropped back and fired a strike over the middle of the field to connect with Beckham Jr. on a crossing route. 

The veteran wide receiver was able to pick up the yardage needed for the first down and turned on the jets as soon as the ball hit his hands. Beckham Jr. left his defender in the dust and caught the safety off-guard, resulting in him racing his way to the end zone untouched for his second touchdown of the season and Baltimore taking a 24-9 lead over Cleveland

It was his first catch of the day, but he made it count, showing flashes of the player that was named to three Pro Bowls and won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2014. 

Coming into the game against the Browns, Beckham Jr. had caught 19 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown this season. His lone touchdown came at the end of a 37-3 bolowout win over the Seattle Seahawks last week.

Beckham Jr. hadn't caught a touchdown pass from Jackson before this game, as his touchdown against the Seahawks came with the game already decided and was thrown by backup quarterback Tyler Huntley. 

The touchdown extended the Ravens' lead over Cleveland, pulling them a step closer to their fifth-straight win and moving to 8-2 overall.
