After starting the season with consecutive wins, the New York Giants have slid down the bottom of the NFC East with back-to-back losses in the National Football League.

They are 2-2 and are struggling in the league ahead of their scheduled clash against the Green Bay Packers.

In the middle of it all is wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. who has been criticized for his actions on and off the field.

Known for his amazing catches and dazzling plays on the field, Beckham is now making news for his crazy antics. One highlight is when Beckham threw a tantrum on the sideline after a botched play.

Giants head coach Ben McAdoo took notice and claimed the wide receiver needed to refocus and become less of a distraction.

There are also some instances when Beckham gets distracted by calls from the referee and claims that he is being thrown off his game by his opponents. However, being the number one option of the Giants, it is understandable that opponents will try to get in his head. Ralph Vacciano tweeted that Beckham know this and accepts the challenge.

Now, Beckham is channelling his anger and frustration by accepting that he will get the same treatment every time and he will have to rise above it using his skills on the field, as reported by ESPN.

Arriving in the league in 2014, Beckham has taken the league by storm as he scored 12 touchdowns in his first 12 games.

His streak continued in 2015 when he had 13 touchdowns in 15 games and he was selected in the Pro Bowl in his first two years.

This time, things are different and Beckham is having a slow start. In four games, he has only notched in 303 yards and has yet to score a touchdown.

Against a tough Packers squad, Beckham must find the magic and become the scary wide receiver he is known to be.
