The Buffalo Bills saw the first game that Odell Beckham Jr. played for the Minnesota Vikings this season — which could also be the last.
The Vikings announced hours after their 23-6 loss to the Bills on Monday Night Football that they terminated the contract of the veteran wide receiver. The move came after the Bills’ defense stifled Minnesota’s offense, holding them without a touchdown and dominating time of possession.

The Vikings had announced on Sunday that they signed Beckham to their active roster from the practice squad. Reporter Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk noted that there had been rumors of the move.
“Word that the Vikings would sign Beckham to their 53-man roster surfaced on Sunday and the team announced the move on Monday afternoon,” Alper reported. “Beckham has been on the practice squad for the last couple of weeks and was elevated to the active roster once without appearing in a game.”
Beckham had appeared in one game for the New York Giants this season, making no receptions, before he was cut loose and ultimately signed to the Vikings’ practice squad.
