Odell Beckham Jr. hauls in 75-yard TD (Video)

Odell Beckham Jr. put the New York Giants ahead of the Baltimore Ravens with a 75-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter.

The New York Giants are in the lead for the first time on Sunday, thanks to a long-range hookup between Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. After being held in check throughout most of the first three quarters, Manning found Beckham for his second touchdown of the season, giving New York a 17-13 advantage.

Manning threw a perfectly placed ball down the right sideline, hitting a streaking Beckham in stride. That catch gives Beckham 101 yards on the day, and put a jolt into the partisan crowd at MetLife Stadium.

After making the catch and getting back to the sideline, Beckham continues what has turned into a love affair with the kicking net.

For both teams, the win is crucial. The Giants won their first two contests of the season before losing three straight. Baltimore starting 3-0 but then lost to the Oakland Raiders and Washington Redskins at home, leading to the firing of offensive coordinator Marc Trestman this week.

The Ravens have struggled to cover throughout the season, mostly because the corners are not quality. Jimmy Smith is a first-round pick but he has yet to live up to his draft status, while those playing across from him are more suited for depth roles.
