WATCH: Odell Beckham Jr. shares beautiful moment with family following Super Bowl win
Odell Beckham Jr. accomplished a major goal on Sunday night, as he and his Los Angeles Rams team captured the Super Bowl 56 crown with a 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Although Beckham Jr. suffered a knee injury in the second quarter that sidelined him for the remainder of the game, he was big for the Rams in the opening period – making two receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown to help send Los Angeles out on top.
Following the Rams’ win, Beckham Jr. was caught on camera celebrating with his family on the field. The wide receiver was full of emotion, shared hugs with what appeared to be his mother and girlfriend, and even gave his soon-to-be newborn baby a kiss through the outside of his girlfriend’s stomach.
It was truly a beautiful moment for Beckham Jr. and his family as they celebrated his first Super Bowl win.
Odell Beckham Jr. ties NFL record during Super Bowl
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. put his name in the NFL record books early in Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals. Beckham caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford – the first of the game – to notch his seventh touchdown of the season for L.A.
The touchdown gave the former LSU standout the record for most scores with a team other than the one he started the season with. He passed Dallas Cowboys wideout Amari Cooper, who had six in 2018 after leaving the Raiders.
Beckham joined the Rams in November after being waived by the Cleveland Browns. The three-time Pro Bowler signed a one-year deal worth up to $4.25 million, including a $1 million bonus for winning the Super Bowl. In eight games with the Rams this season, Beckham has compiled 27 catches for 305 yards and five touchdowns. He set a season-high in the NFC Championship with nine catches for 113 yards.
