Redskins vs. Giants: 5 keys to victory in Washington’s Week 8 matchup
By Kyle Hundley
No. 2 – Redskins must limit what Odell Beckham does in the passing game
Odell Beckham has been extremely hot and cold in the passing game this year, notching an 100- yard game followed immediately by a dud in the next game. He had eight catches for 143 yards against the Falcons in a devastating Monday night loss to Atlanta. He has the ability to take any catch he makes to the house, as he logged double-digit touchdowns his first three years before his 2017 season was cut short by a gruesome ankle injury.
Josh Norman has stepped up the last couple games after a lackluster performance against the Saints, and he will be tasked with covering Beckham. These two had an ugly meeting in 2015 but not much has happened since.
Beckham does not like to lose, so if things do not go well, expect his emotions to get the best of him again as the Giants season continues to unravel. Quintin Dunbar will likely be out again, so Greg Stroman must step up. Aside from a long touchdown, he played well the game prior for being a seventh-round rookie in his first big game action. Expect him to see more action Sunday.
