When the Cleveland Browns made a deal with the New York Giants to bring star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to Cleveland in a blockbuster trade, this is exactly the type of performance that they wanted to see on a regular basis.
OBJ finally looked like his old self and easily played the best game he has ever played in a Browns jersey, scoring three touchdowns in a wild 49-38 win over the Cowboys.
Back in the stadium where Beckham made the infamous one-handed catch with the Giants that launched him into stardom, the star wide receiver seems to always show up when he plays in Dallas.
His first touchdown catch came on a trick play in which fellow WR Jarvis Landry, and one of Beckham’s best friends since playing together in college at LSU, threw him a 37-yard pass in the endzone. He then caught another more traditional one from quarterback Baker Mayfield in the second quarter.
The Browns were up 41-14 one point, but the Cowboys rallied back to cut the lead to only three points.
It was then when OBJ scored his third touchdown, essentially ending the game with a 50-yard touchdown run on an end-around.
Things are finally looking up for the Browns, who start the season 3-1 for the first time since 2001.
