Josh Norman called into Mike and Mike this morning

"We have made great progress along those lines," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said of Beckham's ability to control his temper. "Today was a step backwards, but I've got to believe we will regain that once he settles down, and we'll be able to talk about it."

This is a player who spoke multiple times during the offseason about how important it would be to not let opponents make him angry. When I interviewed Beckham in June for a Sunday Countdown feature, I asked him what he would do if he were a defensive coordinator trying to stop him and he said, "Try and make me mad, I guess." He knows that this is something of which he needs to be careful. He presented it, unsolicited, as the only thing that can stop him. And on Sunday, any effort he had ever made to control it vanished in an ugly mess of punches and penalty flags.

"We had discussed prior to the game what the expectation would be, and he thought that was all behind him, but he did lose his composure," Coughlin said. "Throughout the course of the game, he regained it."

Eventually, yes. And he did manage to beat Norman for the game-tying touchdown, demonstrating one of the reasons Coughlin decided not to bench him in spite of admittedly considering it. The other reason, Coughlin said, was that, "He's got to learn at some point how to deal with some things on the field."

Odell went overboard yesterday at times, but Norman is not innocent in anyway.
