Odell Beckham Jr. suspended one game for conduct during Panthers game

Odell Beckham Jr. will be taking a week off following his actions on Sunday against the Panthers. 

As many expected on Monday, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been suspended one game by the NFL for his actions on the field Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Entering the game against the undefeated Panthers on Sunday, much of the focus was not on the battle of the two teams on the field, rather the showdown between one of the best wide receivers and one of the best cornerbacks in the league, Beckham and Josh Norman. Well, we quickly found out that this one-on-one was going to be more eventful than we even could have imagined, but things took a very ugly turn as time went on.

Aside from the punches that Beckham was throwing on the field, during one play he launched himself right at Norman like a missile, landing a head-to-head shot in the process. Right then and there cries for the ejection from the game for Beckham were loud, but he was somehow allowed to continue playing. He would end up catching a late, game-tying touchdown, but the Giants ultimately fell as time was running off the clock in regulation.

The Giants are on the road this coming Sunday taking on the Minnesota Vikings, but they will now be without the services of their star wide receiver thanks to the way he conducted himself on Sunday.
