No pain, no gain right?
Dallas Cowboys safety J.J. Wilcox laid out former LSU wideout and New York Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. in the first quarter of Sunday night’s game, forcing an incompletion with this deadly hit:
The force of the impact shifted the safety’s helmet forward and broke Wilcox’s nose. Beckham walked off gingerly to the Giants sideline and later returned after being evaluated by trainers.
Wilcox broke his nose when he hit Beckham. Told trainers to leave it alone until after game. Beckham told him he’d never been hit that hard.
