Odell Beckham Jr. goes off on Freddie Kitchens after TD catch, failed 2-pt try
Published:
Hosting the AFC North-winning Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, the Cleveland Browns needed to complete the season sweep of their rival to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Instead, likely league Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson threw three touchdown passes, including two to former Oklahoma Sooner Mark Andrews, and the Ravens cruised to a 31-15 victory.
With the win, Baltimore improved to 13-2 and clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

Trailing for the entire second half, the Browns pulled within nine, 24-15, when Odell Beckham Jr. caught a three-yard score from Baker Mayfield with 8:01 remaining.

Attempting to cut the deficit to seven points, head coach Freddie Kitchens elected to execute a two-point conversion. Trying to connect with former Texas A&M Aggie Ricky Seals-Jones, Mayfield’s pass fell incomplete, leaving it a two-score game.
Returning to the sideline, Beckham Jr. clearly was not happy with the team’s play call and was not afraid to let Kitchens know it.

Continuing his relatively modest production, Beckham Jr. caught four passes for 44 yards in the game. Playing in all 15 games thus far, he has totaled 71 receptions for 954 yards and three scores.
Cleveland (6-9) will round out their season with a trip to Paul Brown Stadium to battle the Cincinnati Bengals at 1:00 p.m. ET, broadcast regionally on CBS.
