Odell Beckham Jr.'s experience in Super Bowl LVI was definitely a bittersweet one. While he finally won an NFL title with the Los Angeles Rams, he also suffered another ACL injury—an anticlimactic end to a whirlwind season for the star-wide receiver.
Beckham was playing great for the Rams in the title game, even scoring a touchdown. But in the second quarter, his left knee buckled and sent him to the ground. Moments later, the worst scenario was confirmed, as he suffered a second ACL injury in as many seasons.
On Sunday, OBJ re-posted a video of his latest setback on Twitter, with a caption: “Heartbreaker. Can't even lie to y'all.”

As the video showed, even the Cincinnati Bengals, particularly Joe Burrow, expressed concern for Beckham. It was great to see that despite battling for the Super Bowl crown, both teams were still rooting for everyone's health.
The 29-year-old Beckham rejuvenated his career upon joining the Rams in the middle of the season. He tallied 27 passes for 305 yards and five touchdowns in eight regular season games and upped the ante even more in the NFL Playoffs with 21 catches, 288 yards, and two touchdowns.
So yeah, it was indeed heartbreaking to see him go down yet again. What makes things extra complicated is the fact that he's a free agent. With a long recovery period, it will be interesting to see if the Rams take a flyer on him again and offer him another contract.
