Beckham explains TD celebration: 'I'm a dog, so I acted like a dog'
Following his first of two touchdowns Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, Odell Beckham Jr. immediately dropped to all fours and mimicked a dog relieving itself with one leg raised.
When asked about the celebration postgame, Beckham offered a very simple explanation.
"I don't know. I'm in the end zone. I'm a dog. So I acted like a dog," Beckham said, per Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.
The New York Giants star would find the end zone again less than two minutes later, opting to raise a fist for his second celebration. He refrained from offering a definitive answer when asked if it was in support of various players protesting around the league.
Odell Beckham on his 2nd TD celebration (a raised fist): "Did it look like it (meant something)? Then it might have meant something."

Beckham finished with nine catches for 79 yards and the two scores, but the Eagles emerged victorious on a game-winning 61-yard field goal by Jake Elliott.
