WATCH: OBJ Snags First TD of 2020 on 43-Yard Bomb From Baker
Odell Beckham Jr. trade rumors have been heating up recently, but he’s still a Cleveland Brown for the time being and making the most of it. In their Thursday Night Football game against rival Cincinnati, OBJ and Baker Mayfield hooked up for the highlight of the first half. The pair connected on a deep touchdown pass off play-action, putting the Browns up 14-3. Odell beat Bengals DB William Jackson III on a double move.

In Week 1, he only caught three balls for 22 yards so this look from his QB surely made OBJ a happy camper. They weren’t going out of their way to get him the ball or anything but this play was beautifully drawn up and executed.
Last year, in his first season in Cleveland, OBJ topped 1,000 yards receiving for the fifth time in his career. He finished with 74 receptions and four touchdowns.
