The New York Giants got their fourth win of the season with a 30-27 overtime victory over the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears. Odell Beckham Jr. played a huge part in the upset win as he contributed two touchdowns — one receiving and one passing.
That was OBJ's second touchdown pass of the season, which put him in some exclusive company. He became just the fourth wide receiver in NFL history with multiple touchdown passes in a single season, according to StatMuse.
