A postgame moment involving veteran New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was captured by cameras after "Monday Night Football." OBJ, who officially returned to the Giants this offseason, greeted his former teammate after the Rams' 28-6 win. The two players shook hands, with Beckham Jr. also hugging Stafford and spending several moments to tell him something after the game. Stafford completed 22 of 31 passes for 327 yards and four touchdowns in the Rams' much-needed victory.
However, OBJ finished with nothing on the stat sheet, making fans wonder about his use on the Giants' roster. Fans reacted to the postgame interaction, with many commenting about the former Super Bowl winner after his team's loss.

Why did they bother signing him?" one commenter wrote about OBJ's moment after the game. "Stafford threw 4 TDs and passed Rivers for 6th all-time tonight, but sure, let's talk about the gloves," another commenter said. A commenter wrote, "Tbh the game was a wash they should’ve let OBJ have a few snaps." Others commented "So what was the point of signing Odell?
Just for vibes?" and "Trade obj back to the rams asap." The Giants lost their starting quarterback, Jaxson Dart, early in the game to a knee injury. Dart walked off on his own with the Giants' staff but didn't return as his team struggled with backup Jameis Winston. Later, reports indicated he had an MCL sprain and would be out for a significant time.
After winning NFL Rookie of the Year in 2014 and three Pro Bowl selections, Beckham Jr. could be nearing his retirement. Some commenters joked that he might have been asking Stafford to make something happen so he could rejoin him on a potential Super Bowl contender. The Giants make sense as the final team for OBJ since that's where he started and played for the first five seasons of his NFL career.
That said, many believe this Giants team is a contender if they can stay healthy. Dart's injury doesn't appear to be season-ending, but that remains to be seen. It also remains to be seen how much usage Beckham Jr. gets as part of the Giants roster, which also includes talented receivers in Isaiah Likely and Malik Nabers.
