Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had another slow start to the season after just scoring a single touchdown through three games played. However, the team's Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys was a breath of fresh air for Beckham who had three touchdown scores en route to a resounding 49-38 victory.
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski admitted that the offense must involve the three-time Pro Bowler if they want to win more games for the remainder of the season:

He’s somebody that can really affect the game, whether you throw it to him or hand it to him. We just want to be really mindful of that. Really in every game, but it felt like on that turf [in Dallas] his speed would show up.”
The early injury sustained by prolific running back Nick Chubb opened up more opportunities for the other Browns players to contribute on the offensive side of the field. Ball-carrier Kareem Hunt received his fair share of touches despite nursing a groin injury and still managed to score two rushing touchdowns for the Browns on 71 rushing yards and 11 carries.
Tight end Austin Hooper also added 37 receiving yards on four touches and a scored touchdown. With a slim three-point lead, Beckham took it to the house and scored a 50-yard rushing touchdown in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter to ice the game for good.
The scoring prowess of the entire Browns squad preserved the team's winning record with a 3-1 tally heading into Week 5 of the 2020 NFL season. Beckham and the rest of the team will aim to score their fourth-straight win as they host the Indianapolis Colts on October 11.
