Beckham: I used to think Jets were in NJ and Giants in NY
For a while now, the New York Giants and New York Jets have shared a home stadium. They also share a home city. The commonalities between the two teams have brewed a rivalry that otherwise would be uncommon to teams from opposite conferences.
This is a rivalry that Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. knew very little of before entering the NFL.
"When I first got here, I thought the New York Giants would be in New York and the Jets were in Jersey," Beckham said to reporters, per Stephen Lorenzo of the NY Daily News. "I was obviously wrong about that."
Now that Beckham understands the rivalry at hand, he can focus on getting back on track with quarterback Eli Manning. The duo has struggled through the Giants' first two preseason games. With fellow receivers Rueben Randle and Victor Cruz struggling with injuries, there is a lot more responsibility on Beckham to help turn the offense around.
