While New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was playing in the Thursday Night Football game against the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. stirred some confusion with his choice of a barf emoji when reacting to Malik Nabers’ stellar showing in the Week 4 TNF Cowboys-Giants clash.
At the time of Odell Beckham Jr.’s post, Malik Nabers had already recorded over 6 receptions and more than 70 receiving yards in the game against the Cowboys. Most of the replies to OBJ’s post criticized his comment about the Giants receiver.
So far this season, Malik Nabers is likely to surpass 300 receiving yards after completing the game against Dallas. He’s averaging 11.8 yards per catch, placing him among the top 100 wide receivers heading into Week 4.
On the other hand, Odell Beckham Jr., has yet to play a single game in the 2024 NFL season due to injury. The good news is that just a few days ago, his head coach, Mike McDaniel, revealed that OBJ is making good progress in his recovery.
Fans React with Confusion to Odell’s Post
Odell Beckham Jr. might have raised some eyebrows when he posted a barf emoji in response to Malik Nabers’ performance during the Week 4 TNF Cowboys-Giants game. However, in true Odell fashion, it wasn’t a jab but rather his unique way of offering praise—a bit harsh on the surface but ultimately a nod to Nabers’ standout play.
Some replies suggested that Nabers would have a better career with the Giants than OBJ did, while others said Nabers was upholding the legacy of the former Rams, Browns, and Giants star Odell Beckham Jr.
