New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. scored two touchdowns in the first half, and he scored one more in the third quarter of the Giants' Week 8 game against the New Orleans Saints. He came just one play from tying an NFL record currently held by one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play the game -- Randy Moss.

The official NFL account tweeted out the record before Beckham's third touchdown -- Randy Moss had 20 touchdowns in his first 20 games. With his third touchdown in the Giants' 52-49 Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints, he came just one touchdown away from tying Moss' record.
