Odell Beckham Jr. believes the Browns will bounce back from their loss to the Rams. 

Cleveland had a chance to tie or take the lead in the final minute Sunday but Baker Mayfield threw an interception in the end zone, sealing a 20-13 victory for Los Angeles. 

“We didn’t make enough plays to win the game,” Beckham told reporters in a postgame press conference (via the team's official website). “We’re going against the team that was just in the Super Bowl last year so we’re going against a team that is very experienced and knows how to play this game. Not to say we don’t, but it’s a grit game early in the season.  

“You never want to have any loss and you never accept any loss, but that’s a good, hard lesson to learn early in the season that will help us later in the season when we have tougher games like that. They made more plays today, and we just have to get better.”

Browns coach Freddie Kitchens blamed himself for the loss and told reporters he "had to do a better job" with play-calling. But, Beckham praised his coach after the game.  

“We have nothing but support for coach Freddie,” Beckham said. “He has done a phenomenal job. We just have to take a look at the film to see it. It is a good lesson for us to learn now, and now we know when we are in these kinds of games what necessarily we need to do. I think that will be very good for this team.” 

Beckham finished with six catches for 56 yards against the Rams. 

Cleveland dropped to 1-2 and will face the Ravens in Baltimore on Sunday.
