Odell Beckham is one of most outwardly-passionate and animated football players in the NFL, and with the highs of the wins, come the lows of the losses.
The Giants hit a road block in route to the playoffs Thursday night with their loss against the Eagles in Philadelphia. Though appearing as if Eli and the Giants offense were mounting a comeback, Manning tosses an interception on the last play of the game.
The Giants WR’s frustration was so evident postgame, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, Beckham stood angrily in the tunnel “emitting guttural sounds of anguish in a display of utter frustration,” before hitting his head against a steel wall three times. Team security and co-owner John Mara steered him toward the locker room, where he cooled off and became merely really sad.

Beckham did finish the game with 11 receptions for 150 yards, but he and his team will likely have to pull out a win next week if they want to see the playoffs.
