NFL announces 1 game suspension for Beckham

[Sharkenstein]

Here's part of the NFL's statement:

ODELL BECKHAM JR. of the New York Giants has been suspended without pay for next Sunday night’s game against the Minnesota Vikings for multiple violations of safety-related playing rules in yesterday’s game against the Carolina Panthers.

Beckham was penalized three times for unnecessary roughness, including a late helmet-to-helmet hit against a defenseless player in which Beckham left his feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, lowered his helmet and initiated forcible contact with his helmet, and forcibly struck the defenseless player’s head. This “blindside block” was particularly flagrant because Beckham, with a 10-yard running start, had an unobstructed path to his opponent, the position of the opponent was not impacted by any other player, and the contact with the head/neck was avoidable.

This is interesting.

The NFLPA automatically appeals suspicions, so I wouldn't worry that it'll actually be overturned.

Worth noting that he is the first offensive player to ever be suspended for a helmet to helmet hit.
