Perhaps the highly anticipated matchup between Giants star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Panthers shutdown cornerback Josh Norman should have taken place in a cage on pay-per-view Saturday night.

So far the biggest highlight is this little skirmish.

Now, guys, if you’re not going to play nice …

In football terms, Norman is winning the battle even if Beckham made it easy for him on the opening drive.

Beckham had Norman beat, but dropped what probably would have been a touchdown pass. Through the first quarter, Beckham had no catches on two targets. The Giants are hanging with the 13-0 Panthers, however. The teams were tied 7-7 after the first 15 minutes.
