Beckham: Goal for Giants is to run the table

For the second consecutive year, the New York Giants are in the middle of a nightmare season, but Odell Beckham Jr. believes his team is capable of pulling off the nearly impossible.

"Win eight games," Beckham said Friday, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, when asked what he wanted to accomplish personally over the season's second half. "Get in the playoffs. Giants been there before - 9-7, got to the playoffs - and I think they did pretty good. So that is the goal. ...

"Win every game and do anything I can to help that."

The 2011 Giants won the Super Bowl after posting a 9-7 record in the regular season.

New York sits last in the NFC East at 1-7 after firing its head coach and general manager following the 2017 campaign.

It's been another dramatic year for Beckham, who caused controversy by criticizing the offense in an interview with ESPN in October. He said he doesn't feel any additional pressure to spark the team.

"I know my mentality is not going to be to quit ... I'm trying to go hard every play, any chance that I get," Beckham said Friday. "That's just always how I'm going to be. I know we're not in a very good situation, but you just try to make the most out of that."
