It&#8217;s just the second time since Week 6, 2019, that Beckham has surpassed the 100-yard mark in a contest &#8212; the other was a nine-catch, 113-yard performance in 2021 with the Los Angeles Rams during their NFC Championship Game win over the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been a long time coming,&#8221; Beckham said of his performance via the Baltimore Sun. &#8220;Been a lot of hard work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Early on in the season, I was hurting. I couldn&#8217;t be myself. I didn&#8217;t have the explosion. I couldn&#8217;t move the way that I wanted to, and I don&#8217;t think people really knew what I was dealing with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 11: What We Learned from Ravens&#x27; win over Bengals on Thursday night            <\/li>\n<li>              Ravens TE Mark Andrews suffers &#x27;serious&#x27; ankle injury likely to be season ending            <\/li>\n<li>              Ravens&#x2019; Lamar Jackson soars past Eagles great Randall Cunningham for fourth in QB rushing yards            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beckham, who missed all last season with a knee injury, received medical attention on his shoulder following his final catch and run but said after the game that he was fine.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday night, his 116 yards led the Ravens; the next closest player was Zay Flowers with 43. OBJ&#8217;s night could have been even bigger, as he burned defensive backs two other times but couldn&#8217;t connect with Lamar Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>The 100-yard explosion from Beckham came after back-to-back weeks in which he scored a touchdown, including a vintage 40-yard take-a-slant-to-the-house last week against Cleveland. OBJ&#8217;s recent play suggests he&#8217;s fully integrated into the offense and ready to make noise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, I believe so,&#8221; Jackson said when asked if his connection with Beckham finally clicked. &#8220;As we keep going, keep practicing, keep getting better each and every week, and him to keep doing what he&#8217;s doing, I feel like our chemistry&#8217;s going to be skyrocketing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens will need Beckham more than ever, with star tight end Mark Andrews suffering a likely season-ending ankle injury Thursday night. In past years, Baltimore would have been sunk sans Andrews, but this year&#8217;s iteration is better positioned to withstand the loss. That starts with Beckham and Flowers seeing more targets on key downs.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/ravens-wr-odell-beckham-jr-on-best-performance-since-2019-it-s-been-a-long-time-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Odell Beckham Jr. officially back?
