Drake knew all along. The actor-turned-rapper-turned-iconoclast wagered an even $500,000 CAD on Odell Beckham Jr. to score a Super Bowl 56 touchdown. He didn’t have to sweat long for it to pay out; Beckham opened up the scoring with a 17-yard touchdown pass to his WR2.
The former Cleveland Brown, released midway through the 2021 season, ran past press coverage from Mike Hilton on a simple wheel route to create just enough separation for Matthew Stafford to thread a perfect pass over the back of the Bengals’ top cornerback. This pitch and catch capped a five-play, 50-yard scoring drive.
