Odell Beckham Jr was unable to play in the final week of the regular season on Sunday, but one of the star wide receiver’s teammates paid tribute to him by making the type of catch we are used to seeing from OBJ.
With the Giants trailing 14-0 late in the second half, Cody Latimer put his team on the board with an incredible one-handed touchdown catch on a pass from Eli Manning.

The catch would have been impressive enough in warmups, but the fact that Latimer was able to get both of his feet down while also maintaining possession with a defender on him is remarkable. That’s the type of grab we have grown used to seeing from Beckham, so it was nice to see someone else step up and give the fans a treat in his absence.
