Beckham and quarterback Eli Manning couldn’t get on the same page.

Beckham was not penalized for the play, and the National Football League will not disclose any fine information until Friday.
According to several players on the Buffalo Bills – which fell to Beckham and the Giants over the weekend – the second-year wideout responded to physical play by throwing punches.
Head coach Tom Coughlin was obviously not pleased with the situation, and spoke to the media on Wednesday morning about the incident.
“I had to be aggressive and they were dinking and dunking us so I said, I have to be aggressive and jump a few routes and try to get the ball back to our offense”, said Gilmore of his INT intended for Randle. “I think he got mad Duke blocked him and that’s what he’s supposed to do”.
The Buffalo Bills were called for 17 penalties on Sunday in a sloppy loss to the Giants, including an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty by linebacker Preston Brown for mixing it up with Odell Beckham.
The Bills had a few choice words to say about Beckham on Tuesday.
Beckham was seen getting blocked during the game, before going to the ground.
Beckham’s antics also drew a reaction from Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who told The Buffalo News that Beckham is “a prima donna” who “feels like he’s on top of the world and nobody’s supposed to do anything to him”. It did not seem anything out of the ordinary for a minor late-game scrum.

“Odell actually came to me. Prior to that, I didn’t notice a lot”.
