Two days after the Buffalo Bills had lost to the Giants 24-10 at Ralph Wilson Stadium, they were still bothered by some of what happened. They let it be known when they blasted Giants star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. publicly.Cornerback Stephon Gilmore called him a “prima donna” and said his “world is based on hype and that one catch.” Linebacker Preston Brown referred to him as the league’s “golden boy.” Safety Duke Williams indicated that Beckham “likes to throw cheap shots.”
This from the team that committed the 17 penalties. Sure sounds like spilled milk to veteran Giants defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins”How are you going to whine about something you do?” Jenkins said. “The only reason you’re doing that is because you lost and you need something to complain about.”Beckham surely isn’t without guilt. He was fined $8,681 by the league for a punch on Williams late in the contest.
But Buffalo surely had its fair share of indiscretions. They committed three personal fouls in a four-play stretch late in the fourth quarter when Giants offensive lineman Justin Pugh said they didn’t care because they had conceded the game was over despite there being six-plus minutes remaining. Brown was flagged for an unnecessary roughness and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on that drive.”I’m not going to start a fight and complain about the person hitting me. That doesn’t make any sense,” Jenkins said. “I think it’s pretty comical that they’re bringing it up after the fact. You guys do this and then complain? It’s pretty funny to me.”Beckham doesn’t appear to be taking it all too hard, even after finishing with five catches for 38 yards on 12 targets. He said he’s still sleeping like a baby at night, and the Giants (2-2) evened their record in Buffalo.
