Had enough: Former Alabama DB Marlon Humphrey chokes Odell Beckham Jr.

Marlon Humphrey is no stranger to the antics of Odell Beckham Jr. And now that they’re in the same division, the Baltimore Ravens defensive back will see even more of the Cleveland Browns wide receiver.
Humprey, a former Alabama DB, lost control of his emotions midway through the game Sunday and was caught on video choking Beckham, the former LSU star, on the ground as officials and other players intervened.
It came late in the third quarter on a screen pass where Cleveland QB Baker Mayfield completed the play to Dontrell Hilliard for 19 yards. But that’s when the flurry of off-setting penalties for unnecessary roughness came in.
The players jostled as the play ended and as they fell to the ground, Humphrey continued to choke Beckham on the ground.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Beckham didn’t have a catch on four targets.
Here are a couple of images, tight and wide angles of the play:
