Odell Beckham blames Gregg Williams for ordering ‘life-changing’ dirty hit on him

BEREA, Ohio — For Odell Beckham Jr., his first trip back to MetLife Stadium not wearing a Giants uniform represents “just another game,” he insisted.

But going up against a Gregg Williams defense Monday night means it will certainly not be.

Beckham unloaded on the new Jets defensive coordinator, who he said coaches his players to make dirty hits, like the one Beckham suffered in the 2017 preseason against the Browns as a member of the Giants. The star wide receiver leaped to catch an 18-yard pass from Eli Manning and was undercut by defensive back Briean Boddy-Calhoun, who leveled his right shoulder against Beckham’s left knee.
