New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been fined for verbal abuse of an official. It’s unrelated to his post-game comments about Terry McAulay.

The New York Giants have been able to rely on Odell Beckham Jr. for three things in 2016. The first is awe-inspiring plays, the second is elite production, and the third is an unfiltered passion that shines through on the field, on the sidelines, and at the podium.

Unfortunately, Beckham’s passion has cost him following his clash with Terry McAulay’s crew during the Giants’ Week 13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Beckham has come under fire on multiple occasions in 2016, with all criticism seeming to pertain to his passion and energy. From his infamous spat with a kicker’s net to his brutal honesty in post-game settings, Beckham has either won your fandom or alienated you entirely.

According to Tom Pelissero of USA TODAY Sports, Beckham has been fined $12,154 for verbal abuse and excessive profanity towards an official.

The best thing Beckham can do from hereon out is to keep his cool and the NFL has a magnifying lens looking down on him.

The Giants need Beckham to leave whatever anger he may have at home and channel his passion towards beating the Dallas Cowboys. New York is 8-4 and in control of its own destiny, but it’s far from guaranteed that Bob McAdoo and Co. are going to make the playoffs.

Beckham is one of the players who will play a definitive role in whether or not the Giants make good on their postseason potential.
