Josh Norman-Odell Beckham Jr. matchup becomes hilariously physical image

NFL fans knew they'd get a show when Washington this week made clear it would assign cornerback Josh Norman to Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in Sunday's game.

The two stars didn't make those fans wait long. Well ... Norman didn't.

As Shane Vereen ran into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown in the first quarter, Norman on the outside picked up Beckham and, for whatever reason, carried his opponent for a few seconds before setting him down.

It was as weird as it was pointless.

Neither Norman nor Beckham was called for a penalty on the play. Vereen's touchdown gave the Giants a 7-0 lead.
