EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Odell Beckham Jr. had 15 targets in the opener. The following day New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur was asked about that heavy workload and said there would probably be a day when Beckham didn’t have that many passes thrown in his direction. Shurmur predicted that would result in him being asked, ‘Why not?’
It didn’t take long for this scenario to come to fruition. It happened one week later, after Beckham was targeted nine times in a 20-13 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
