Back in July, when Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about having to face Cleveland Browns wide receiver twice a year, Tomlin made a yawning gesture and had the following to say:
“You know, I see great players, or we see great players, week in and week out,” Tomlin said at the time (via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com). “We've seen him before. We respect his talent and the talents of everyone they've acquired. But it doesn't change our agenda or our focus.”
Well, apparently neither Beckham nor Jarvis Landry forgot about that interview.
During a 21-7 win over Tomlin's Steelers on Thursday night, both Beckham and Landry made their own yawning gestures toward Pittsburgh's bench following big plays, one which came on a 42-yard reception by Beckham and another on a one-yard touchdown by Landry.
It hasn't been a very impressive season for Beckham and Landry as a whole, but the duo of wide outs were obviously prepared to face Tomlin this week and clearly had Tomlin's offseason gesture in the back of their minds.
Beckham logged four catches for 60 yards in the victory while Landry totaled four grabs for 43 yards and a score.
On the season overall, Beckham has caught 48 passes for 692 yards and just one touchdown, well below the production the Browns were expecting when they acquired him in a trade with the New York Giants back in March.
Meanwhile, Landry has tallied similar numbers, hauling in 49 receptions for 695 yards and three touchdowns.
Cleveland is now 4-6 on the year and will take on the Miami Dolphins next Sunday.
