Justin Jefferson throws OBJ shade at Baker Mayfield, Browns during 'Monday Night Football'
The Cleveland Browns moved on from Odell Beckham Jr. weeks ago but they will still have loose connections with him for at least the rest of this season. While Beckham wasn’t producing at a high level, he did draw attention from the defense that opened up things for others.
The internal struggles have been noted without a lot of details available about the specific problems in Cleveland. Quarterback Baker Mayfield made note of “internal things” when speaking to Kurt Warner in a video posted just prior to Week 14’s game.
One of Beckham’s defenders, which included wearing a "Free Odell" shirt, has been Minnesota receiver Justin Jefferson. (Of note, the Browns beat Jefferson’s Vikings earlier this year.)
